Tapping noise, please help

There is a tapping noise coming from my front passenger side wheel. It is to the rythum of how fast my wheel spins. Rotors, pads, calipers, inner and outer bearings just replaced, and it makes the same noise.

Any ideas or guesses are appreciated.

Swap your 2 front wheels and see if it moves to the other side. I'd bet it's a wheel or tire.

I just found out this weekend that replacing the struts took care of a LOT of weird front end noise.. One of them being a weird "click" noise at full turn...
Maybe something to look into unless yours are fairly new..

From my day working in a service station... Check around the whole tread, you may have a nail or screw stuck in it that taps every time it comes around and hits the pavement.

88 IROC with cobbled together (not by me)drivetrain, 86 (?) TPI unit on an '83 305,CE subframe connectors, Edelbrock strut tower brace, polygraphite bushings all around...it handles like a dream, but man is it hard to push!!
