Default Front right wheel clicking?

Hey guys,
My cars recently started making a creaking/clicking noise from the front right wheel whilst driving and also whilst turning the wheel when stationary. Its louder the slower you are going and it seems to be louder when reversing as well.

Has anyone had a similar issue with their car and know what the problem was?

It also started happening after the car was on a hub dyno, not sure if that could be related.

Thanks

Heres a video i recorded of the noise

Textbook rooted wheelbearing noise.

Get it to a Subaru specialist workshop and be prepared for up to $500 ish. Often the spindle part that the wheel studs are in will be worn out as well.

I'm not going to say it's safe......I will say that I know people who have driven cars with a similar noise for months without any further damage.

My advice is avoid high speed driving, avoid long drives and get it sorted as soon as practicable.
