Angry 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

. So i have changed the bearings and the noise got significantly quieter but is still there. Could it be the output shafts ?

Good you changed the bering.
I think check now the break pads and it might need do alighment to disc (I'm not sure what you call it hhhhh).
If pads break fine then need to check the drive shafts too. Good luck.

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 "

I changed out the hub bearing. Have yet to get a chance and look at her again
