Dealership FAIL!!

That microphone must be dayum good, cause I've never heard a wheel bearing tick that loudly with a one inch rotation. Looks like a rear wheel to me, so more likely something with the e-brake or rotor.

we looked at a lot of possibilities but the conclusion is almost def the bearing unless there is something obscure that we missed. Either way the dealership should have caught this as I told them about the ticking in the rear. The video was shot with my phone, its not as loud as my phone makes it out to be. Not sure why it sounds that loud. Ill let you know definitely whats going on tomorrow when its fixed.

Good Luck, I think now that you did their troubleshooting for them. They should take it a little more seriously. The only way I can see a bearing making that much noise is if a bearing race is cracked, or one or more of the ball bearings is cracked. Either way I'd think the bearing would disintegrate in less than 10 miles under those conditions. That's why I lean a little more to it being an issue with the parking brake mechanisms inside the rotor.
