Could be a few things... and I also seem to recall that 944s of that age had potential issues with the control arms themselves? If you check some of the 944 sites around it is well documented.

Other likely causes would be:
* Loose lug nuts
* CV Joints
* Wheel bearings
* Tires (if the tread is starting to seperate, it can cause such a noise)

First step in troubleshooting would be to determine if the noise coincides with the wheels rotation, or just simply movement. Then check the obvious issues of tire wear and make sure the lug nuts are correctly torqued.

have faith it or no longer, the hubcaps on a motor vehicle can especially situations flex inflicting a steel clicking noise. I had a motor vehicle that did this some years in the past, and that i solved it via wrapping electric powered tape around the in the hubcap (the place it grips the wheel) which padded it adequate to stay away from the clicking. the least complicated thank you to be sure for that's to easily pull off the hubcaps quickly. i do no longer point out any of the different opportunities which comprise wheel bearings, considering that different answerers have already introduced this up.

It's very unlikely to be a CV joint as typically only the front outside CV's wear. It's most likely a wheel bearing. Grab the wheel and push top and bottom, side to side and see if the wheel moves. It should not move in any direction. If it does, it's a bad wheel bearing.

Possibilities:

1. Rock in the tread.
2. belts loose inside the tire
3. CV joint

It sound like it's only your parking brake. Have you noticed if it's working properly? If not, disengage the brake and remove the wheel. You'll find the broken pieces in that area, most likely.
