Ehe wheel bearings are designed to slide in the hub on pre 02 9-5's(02's and up use a sealed hub with an aluminum steering knuckle) What happens is that the bearing gets a little rusty and begins to stick in the hub so when you load it it bangs against the retaining snap ring. Solution is to replace the bearing and coat the new bearing with anti sieze. Although I have never seen this on a 9-5(common on a 9-3) I don't see why it wouldn't happen.
Also be sure the rear facing nuts are tight on the control arm. If these are loose the control arm will bang in the bushing. If all else fails we usually replace the rear control arm bushings.
