hey all i got a Q for ya'll when driving i get a clicking sound right, it gets faster and faster the faster i go. now there is nothing in the wheel cover (yep i'm still running stockies) the tyre is really bad (cheap retread i got with the car), it hasn't been lowered or anything. i fitted a ralliart front to it and didn't tie up the plastic thingo in the wheel arch. all of these things are thing i can think of. any ideas as to waht it is "eg CV joint" or wack wheel ballence or anything like that. thanks peeps

Check your tyres mabey you have a nail stuck in one.

That was my first thought too, or a pebble stuck in the tyre tread. Funny story; driving along one night and all of a sudden the noise you are describing start happening from one of the front tyres, but LOUD!!! louder than any nail/screw/pebble my tyres had ever picked up.

Stopped the car in the first well lit carpark I could find and got out to check all the tyres. Fund the culprit right away, a big bit of sticky tape stuck to the tyre tread :nuts:

i have the same sort of problem.... but mines like a high pitch tweak and its at intervals like there is something stuck in the tyre but it even happens on grass and it only happens when i turn right!?!?!?
im going to take the front right wheel off this weekend and have a look at it to see if i can find n e thing.. the only thing i can thing of is maybe a brake sheild or something..i havent looked som im goin in blind
ill see if i can rectify this and let yous know...

ur problem sounds like and outer cv's on the way out. only saying that cause u mentioned it happen on any surface and only turning right.


as for the other member sound maybe it's a little stone chip between the brake calipar and disc. my mates th had a similar sound and when he changed the brake pads thats when he found this small chip wedged in there. or some one has been a smart **** and put a couple of cable ties or ur cv shaft to make the clicking sound. done this to a mate's car as a joke , he though he needed the cv replaced cos of the clicking sound coming from the cv and it gets worst the faster he went.

just had the same thing. i found out i had a 1 cm by 6 mm hole in my tyre. (retread) i change it over with the spare and it was gone. i didnt notice nething in my stuck in my brakes (dirt twigs or pebbles) wat so ever. faster i went worst it got, imo the faster i went the more contact the hole had with the ground, the faster the clicking. but i still dont noe how a hole in my tyre could cause the sound

mmmmm more money to throw at the car
thanks boss
ill get onto it..

got new tyres today and all good :D checked out my old ones and low and behold there was a HUGE (like 5CM) hole going about 1/4" into the tyre THANKS A LOT GCCC
