Grinding sound when moving, worse taking lefts

Never heard any grinding at all while driving until today. After warming up, backed up out of the driveway and it started as soon as I started moving. Went a few hundred feet, turned around and drove back home. It is fairly loud going straight, goes away when taking rights, and gets worse taking lefts. Sounds like a stuck caliper, I do use the handbrake while in the garage.

Any ideas? I'd like to try my hand at fixing it myself.

1989 Mondial T Coupe

 

Had my wife drive while I fast-walked alongside. It is definitely coming from the right rear wheel. It's more of a clicking sound than grinding, faster you go, faster it clicks.
That wheel bearing was replaced about 500 miles ago though. Nothing caught in there, like I mentioned it was fine the last time I drove it and just parked it for a week before driving again, then the clicking was immediate.

When the car was stationary in between my wife driving it, I grabbed hold of the tire with both hands and shook it in and out, I did get it to do the same clicking sound once even though the car wasn't moving. The lug nuts are tight. Could the bearing have gone so quickly?

 

Following up, when I parked her about 10 minutes ago I tried to shake the tire/wheel again and no clicking sound. Just went and tried again and it did click.

 

OK, this just gets getting weirder. Jacked up the right side and took off the right rear wheel. The lugs were not as tight as I would like but nothing major. Placed the wheel back on tight. Test drive, same clicking.

Jacked it up again, this time took it out of gear with no handbrake and spun the wheel as fast as I could. No clicking.

The sound is almost like an out of control solenoid but only when moving and can get some flutters of higher ''sputtering'' even when moving slowly.

Could it be the electronic shocks and I'm just thinking the noise is coming from the wheel? This is the T.

 

Took a closer look at the cv joints. There is one boot that covers the inboard cv joint then goes down the length of the drive shaft and covers the outboard cv joint. Surprised that was all one piece instead of 2 separate cv joint boots. The part that covers the outboard cv joint (that was replaced 500 miles ago) doesn't seem to be torn or leaking. The part that covers the inner cv joint didn't have a rip I could see but was wet with grease on the outside.

Smoking gun?

I'm moderately mechanical and want to try it but is this straightforward or best left to Tim Stanford.

 

Just an FYI in case somebody else experiences the same thing, called Mike at Cavallino Automobili in Ocala yesterday. He's the one who did my major earlier this year and a good guy. I described to him over the phone what was happening and my observations so far. He said he thought it could be a brake pad catching. So I did what he told me, drive it for a few miles while riding the brake at intervals to see if the noise would go away. I did and also stabbed the brakes a few times once things started warming up. It was pretty loud at the beginning but did start to get lower and then finally after about 2 miles the noise completely went away.

So it was the brake pad after all and an easy self-healing fix. I am very happy at this point. So if you hear a similar noise, may want to look a stuck brake pad instead of something more $$$$$.
