Front end ticking
Hi
I have ticking noise coming from front wheel are. It's heard better when wheel is turned right(I think it ticks when going straight too). I believe it's too early(30K km) for bearings to go, any ideas before I part with car for the day for the service? Thanks for any help Alex |
this may sound off-the-wall, but do you have something metal stuck in your tire? I ran over a bottle cap once, and it stuck in just enough to hang on, but not hurt the tire. It still made this annoying tapping sound until I noticed it and pulled it out.

If its light ticking look for a rock in the tread. Had the same thing several times.

Thanks for help
Thanks for help, noice was eliminated-CV boot was rubbing against itself when wheels were turned. I am surprised, that they are not made of rubber-something between hard rubber and plastic?
I sprayed silicone lube and noise went away. So tip for everyone-pull front wheels off and put silicone lube on all boots you see-CV, steering and axle. Do not spray on brake disks! Alex |
