Wheel bearing.
FCA mopar can’t design a front end worth a damn.

If AWD possible cv joint.

You picked up some road kill and it’s
wound around the spindle between the rotor
and backing plate..../s

“A clacking noise started in the front end passenger side tire area”

I am thinking a illegal alien is hiding in there.

I agree with others on this thread, in that:

Get the wheel bearings checked FIRST.
If a worn out wheel bearing goes, the wheel could fall off.
This occurring while driving at speed could have
somewhat 'less than good' consequences.

Secondly it could be a CV joint.
Definitely something with the drive train.

First step, take it to a mechanic you, or friends, trust.
Of course, if you can't find a good mechanic who is NOT
incompetent or a crook, you could always buy a horse.

Or a new Hyundai - good warranty.
I had a 2005 Hyundai Elantra that I sold to the college
age son of a friend - that is still on the road and
running. It was out of warranty when I sold it to him of course
(175,000 miles on it) and he had to replace some exhaust
system parts - but hey, that's to be expected.

Last I heard it's still running strong.

Good luck.

Thank you very much, Galt.

Been a while since this broken back has been on a horse, but I wouldn’t mind a mule about now!

(I’ve got a Nissan back up that I’m going to get up and running ... hopefully. I think it just needs a battery.)

[SouthernClaire]

Dang it. That’s why I found part of a burrito in there.

[SouthernClaire]

Nope. Right foot only.

[mad_as_he$$]

Please heed what Openurmind said - immediately!

[SouthernClaire]

Indeed, Mad. Going to and told Open so. Thank you.

;-)

[GaltAdonis]

You are most welcome, and good luck again - with the Nissan.

[SouthernClaire]

Pfft. If it’s roadkill in the South we’d scrape it off and make gravy.

[higgmeister]

Then you don’t ride the brakes and you’re to be commended.

Your post reminds me ...

I had a back surgery that left my leg paralyzed. I desperately wanted my leg back so I chucked the walker and held onto ... for dear life ... to the walls and furniture. I dragged it around and threatened to remove it myself every single day.

My then mother-in-law was in my driveway when I pulled up one day. She screamed, “What do you think you’re doing?!? How are you driving?!?”

“The same as always, Mom: with my right foot.”

(I loved my MIL dearly and she meant the best when she asked the question.” And God healed my leg, btw, almost completely.)

[TNoldman]

Loose wheel ?

[HandyDandy]

Any luck?

[SouthernClaire]

Yes. I have been told that it is the drive shaft center support bearing (forgive if I write the thing the wrong way). Not what I wanted to hear, but still glad for the truth. Neighbor is going to repair it whenever we have some dry weather.

Thank you so much asking, and I appreciate every answer given.

God Bless,

SC

“Driveshaft center support bearing” works for me! Thanks for answer!
God Bless you, too!
