Default Xc90 clicking noise at low speed

Have seen a clicking noise at low speed. Seems to be coming from right side of car -- unsure.

I hear it while accelerating off a stop slowly say once a second.

Any suggestions on things to check?

Could it be a stone in your curb-side tire?

2nd that.. rotate the tires and see if the clicking moves- probably the easiest fix, check for bearing play while the car is in the air too.
I did have a similar issue in my 940turbo, that wound up being an inner axle bearing, which ultimately damaged the carrier.

Have now rotated the tires.

I had replaced the wheel bearing on the rear passenger side a few months back, it's likely the front is beginning to go.

I'll jack it up and check the play. I bet it's exactly as you say.

If the noise is more noticable while turning AND accelerating, it's likely your CV Joint.
