Well I'm stumped.

Here are the details

94 ST205


Creaking sound...once every wheel revolution

Happens in forward in reverse...more prominent in reverse. Seems to go away when I get up to speed higher than 35ish kmh but maybe I just can't hear it after that. Dead cold it is very quiet but I drove around the block just before the video and it warmed it up enough to be very noisy.

Definitely happening every revolution, clutch in or out, transmission neutral or in gear.

I put it up on jackstands in the shop and ran it but all 4 wheels were quiet...only happens when on the ground (loaded down I suppose). Unless I get it on a rolling road I think that's the best I can hear

Still happens with light to full brake pressure so I doubt it is sticky brake pads.

Wheel weights come very close to the caliper but no touching.

Just put these wheels on last week...with 15mm hubcentric spacers and longer studs. The car was stored all winter in the shop and I ran all last year with the stock rims. and only spacers in the rear...don't really remember hearing noises like this last year with stock rims but there was some wooga wooga noises coming from up front (which also seems to have gotten worse this year)

Seems to be coming from front drivers side but I can hear it well on the pass side as well, and the odd creak on the rear drivers side.

I am highly suspect of the wheel/hub bearings. I just tore apart the pass side and had a look at the hub bearings and it certainly doesn't spin like a bearing should, kind of grindy and hard to turn. but would like some other opinions before I drop the big bucks on a couple new ones. They are closed press-in type and bloody expensive...nothing I can just pull and repack

Anyways...watch the vid and let me hear your thoughts/concerns

Or if that doesn't work you can just download the vid from me directly

I've been chasing rotational noises for years,

Have had to replace all 4 wheel bearings and both superstrut arms to fix the noises,

But what I hear from your video sounds, I've never ever heard from my car.

Yours sounds like its rubbing something like a stray piece of plastic at the top as i noticed the sound happens once for every full rotation.

The sound of my worn wheel bearings (infront) weren't audible until 30kph turning a corner, It was an oscillating metal on metal friction sound. It was obvious in the rear as the wheels developed free play in toe in/out.
