There is a distinct loud 'clicking' noise coming from the front right passenger wheel, especially as the wheel is turned to the left. The clicking sound starts slow and increases in frequency as the automobile accelerates. A visual, albeit cursory, inspection reveals nothing.

The noise started about 800 miles after a tire rotation but about 100 miles after the car had sat unriven outside for 6 weeks.

Thank You for any insight that you may have ~
