Search Wheel Bearing.

yes, and don't drive it to the dealership or repair shop, have it flat bedded.

well the bearing would also cause a loud clunking? i was thinking tran or suspension. the clicking loose marbles /metal clicking sound i figured was wheel bearing.

Could also be the shoes of the emergency brake that is inside the hub...but elsewhere on this forum someone had a blown wheel bearing, and he thought it was Armageddon.

I was driving down the road with the windows down and heard a sound coming from my rear passenger-side wheel. It sounded like something rattling. It only happens between 19-25mph. Could this be a bearing issue too? I've also got the dreaded goodyear OEM tires that desperately need to be replaced (33K miles). The noised didn't sound like the wear indicators though.
