clicking noise around front tyre

Post by petey »

Hey guys i can hear a clicking noise behind my front right side tyre every time i turn a corner, the tyre isn't rubbing and my CV joint (which i thought it was) isn't damaged or broken. Any ideas what the problem is?

have you actually pulled the cv out and checked the cage as well as the Bell?????? :idea:
Lockers or Knockers ,both will make for fun.

the noise isn't coming from the tyre but from behind it and i took the whole CV joint apart, cleaned it and couldn't find a fault. I couldn't find anything stuck in the tread either

i'd guarantee it'd be the cv joint, i don't know your knowledge extent so don't take this personally but if u don't know what u are looking for it probably would look ok but any wear would cause "clicking sound", i wouldn't rule it out unless you are confident with your inspection
