clicking when accelerating
yesterday i was driving from home and got about a mile away when i hit a soft bump then a loud clunk came from the rear right wheel, following the clunk was a pretty loud clicking noise and even louder but slower clicking when i left of the gas pedal.i tried attaching a video but im unsure if it attached or not so i turned it into a youtube video heres the link. the noise you hear if when i let off the gas pedal it get much quieter when i press the gas pedal.

Good to be able to tell left or right
Might replace the right wheel bearing first based on cost and effort
Beyond that the bearing on the output shafts on the differential are common to go bad
You can replace this bearing with the differential remaining on vehicle
Plenty of people have replaced this bearing theirselves
The cause of the bearing failure is a clogged breather port on the top of the differential casting
When the breather clogs air pressure inside builds up with heat and pushes the differential grease out of the bearing seals
You end up with dry bearings and they fail at that point
If one bearing fails the debris from the first to go side goes over to the other side so it becomes compromised
So you have to flush out the differential

Wait a little bit for more suggestions from others
Which bearings to be clear ?
On the differential output shaft bearing I would be careful to get good reputable bearings against what are offered on Ebay as complete " kits "
