Resistance and slight clicking in wheel.

Going one a long trip soon. Checking everything over and discovered this:

Good video w/ the comparison between left and right, and good on you for checking for bearing play already.

Possibly (probably?) stuck guide pins on brake caliper:

TBH it doesn't look or sound too bad. On the off chance that you might have a thermal camera, take it out on the highway, drive ~3-5 miles or so, then let it glide to a stop (no braking!) on the road shoulder & use the thermal camera to compare temperatures of the left & right wheels/rotors.

If the drivers side is drastically hotter it'll show it immediately.

 

Just did front brakes about two months ago.

I do not have a thermal camera. But I’m getting ready to take the tire off to have a look at the pins. I did do front brakes about two months ago just pads. The rotors were still good. Greased everything with brake grease. The pins seem fine then.

 

Sounds like it’s coming from the cv axle. Also my break pads are against the rotor more than they should be,I think.

OK, I feel like a little bit of a dumbass lol. Got everything back bolted up. I did pull the pins out and clean them. They were pretty dirty and they had paint on them then greased them High temp brake grease. But all that resistance in that noise was caused from tape being stuck inside of the caliper from when I painted the calipers and forgot to remove the tape Masking the brake pads. As far as the clicking, I’ve read some stuff on here and it could be just the spider gears making a normal sound. There’s no leaks or play from the cv axle.
