Ticking in right rear wheel tends to keep pace with rotation speed.
Noise goes away once applying brake.
I've installed new oem brake rotors and calipers in the rear.
Any idea of what the cause is?
Could this be a bearing problem?

Also noise tends to leave when suspension is compressed after say a bump?
I know my alignment is off set.
 
Do this, Take your tire off, spin the wheel hub. If you notice it hangs or sticks at a certain clock its your wheel bearing.

If seems smooth, put your tire back on, grab left and right sides. Try to wiggle in left and right, next try up and down.

If there is a noticeable movement its your bearings.
 
Same exact thing drove me crazy in my car. It's the brake pads clacking around, bet you you're missing the anti-rattle clips in one of them...
 
I'm pretty sure I installed allthe rattle clips.
Thanks for the tip though, I'll double check.
Almost positive it's bearings though, I have 180k on the chasis and not certain when there were new wheel bearings replaced. Only owned the car since 174k.
I'll do the diagnosis it and make the final decision.
Thanks for the help
