Noise coming from wheels......

Hi guys, when driving I hear a tink tink tink noise coming from the right side. Almost sounds like someone shaking change.
any ideas? Wheel bearings?
Any help would be appreciated from you mechanically inclined.
Thanks
Jeff
P.S.
Also, a clunking noise coming from the right rear, struts and rear sway bar are new.
Thanks

Need some more info. Wheel bearings are a constant roaring sound.

I would try doing a search for "tink tink tink"

Uhh, that's either something loose (brake hose, maybe...) or something trapped in your wheels (if you have a cover over the lugnuts).
If sound has a constant pattern, look at brakes - might be stone / nail etc caught up between splash shield & rotor. Not wheel bearings, honest!
As for rear clunking noise, did you replace sway bar bushes or reuse old ones - new sway bar could be slightly thinner than stock & bushes not fitting properly. Check all strut, sway bar & brake nuts & bolts - could be a loose caliper (rear discs), strut top nuts etc. A clunking noise = movement that shouldn't be there.
Good luck
