PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! What the hell is this clicking sound?? I need to find out what it is before i take it in. I can only imagine what the agents will charge me if i arrive with some issue and have no idea what the problem is.




Searching on here i see it might be wheel bearing or CV. I have had the rear wheel off 3 times in the last week to see if i can find anything loose, any play or movement but nothing.

Forgive me for not having centre caps but these are my winter wheels.

 

that noise is irritating thats what it is mate.

on another note, are you 100000000% sure its coming from that wheel? as it maybe a noise coming from somewhere else and amplifying out of that wheel.

check your drop links on the rear, sounds like a loose anti roll bar, imo

 

The sound is almost like it is coming from the big shaft nut or hub nut.

 

hmmmmmmmmm if not suspension related, 2nd best guess would be the drive lines, does it do it at a constant rate? or does it increase and decrease with speed?

 

Does it do it if you push it forwards and backwards rather than drive it?

 

sorry guys just lost internet connection, this is from my phone.

Let me go try push the car back and forth. Back soon

 

does not do it when i push the car. The click is only when i pull away, once, if i stop it clicks too.

 

Can it be heard occasionally when driving.(sound like a stone in groove of wheel)

Mine was like above untill wheel bearing shat itself on track.

 

Could be the pads moving in the caliper carrier.

 

Driveshaft nut loose. Ensure staking is in groove in shaft. Only needs to be slightly loose to click, I had this on NSF and it took me a year to find. Check all 4 wheels.

 

Hi Guy
Have you spoke to FBtuning?

 

If it aint doin it when you push it its got to be driveshaft related surely? As said check the hub/driveshaft nut is properly torqued as the click could be the splines movin slightly if its ok id be lookin at the cv joint.

 

Cleaned both rear calipers and pads are nice and tight.

 

Hey Pete, how are you fella? I need to take a day off to go to Rich for my MD321H so was hoping i could get this sorted a bit closer to home and a bit sooner.

 

Will see what i need to torque it to and have to do that tomorrow evening, my 32mm socket is at work right now. Cheers

 

Nice one mate. That looks like tomorrows thing.

 

Front 162 ft-lb, rear 140 ft-lb.

Although conventional thinking says overtightening will damage bearing, my offending nut got murdered up with a big windy gun capable of 800 by a well known specialist and I had no further problem.

 

Thats a great help mate, will try that first.

 

Almost killed myself with this f$%king car!!!


This snapped and almost knocked my teeth out while trying to tighten my hub nut. I am about to buy some petrol and burn the ******!!!

 

May sound stupid but have you checked the tyre for a nail? Can click away with every tyre rotation! A lot louder than you'd expect sometimes!

 

No nails. Am sure its bearing.

 

it could be a rear strut. have you got original shocks/springs? try bouncing the offending corner. j

 

Not a strut either, those have been replaced. Defo coming from the hub nut area.

 

Not sure if Hubs will be cheaper option than buying new bearings,just my thoughts.

I say drive line. May be a bearing in one of the diffs is on its way out. Get underneath and check for play in the prop shaft.

 

But play in the prop shaft would then make that clunk sound from the diff and not at just the rear left hub nut. Or do you mean from the side shafts to the wheels?

 

If it were the bearing it would do it when you push it

 

You would think so but i think i cant push the car fast enough. If i pull away really slow it does not click. Ready to pull out my hair!

 

I have shaker plates and big air guns if needed are you far from wgc

 

Nice one fella, not sure what wgc is?
