Clicking Noise from wheel (help need opinions)

AnthonyT · 05-22-2016, 10:23 PM

Last week a odd clicking noise developed in my front wheel passenger side. It's very obnoxious and I cannot figure out what it is. Any help or opinions on what it could be would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Honestly I had a similar thing and it felt like I had something inside my rim the kept hitting.. It lasts a for a bit then I floored it one day and it stopped? Thought maybe I had a rock in my brakes or something or even a dead rat etc... I'm curious to see what you find out , sorry I can't be any help as mine starts and then Disappeared

Anyone?

why don't you just look in the wheel well? Honestly sounded like a brake pad rubbing on a warped rotor.

Already looked in, the rotor isn't warped as far as I can tell from a visual inspection. There's no vibrations either from braking.

Issue with the rattle clip in that side? The inside pad snaps into the caliper, the outside pad floats on the caliper with the spring steel clip that stops it from rattling.

I checked those too, I just noticed my dust shield or what ever it's called that's on the backside of the rotor is touching the rotor. I'm gonna see if that's the issue.

Bump.

Does this sound like a bad wheel bearing?

Also, I put my stock rims back on and the sound goes away.

I think it's the rim. Any input would be welcome. Thanks.

Is there any rubbing on the inside of the rim? I have aftermarket and had to grind down the caliper bracket a bit to clear...

Nothing is rubbing, Previous to this set up I had the same size rims and the noise wasn't there.
