Clicking noise around tight turns on front wheel - Any ideas?
Hi Guys,
When driving aggressively and making swooping right turns along curves entering a highway or other curves, my front Driver side wheel makes a clicking noise... a very pronounced click click click for each rotations of the wheel (so very quickly) The noise stops when driving straight or even making quick sharp turns at an intersection doesn't do it. Just hard turns on curves moving fairly quickly. I do also have a slight squeak on that side as well when sometimes turning slightly right... but I'm not sure if it is related. Any idea what would cause this click?

What is the oem spec for torque? 140 seems really high!

Removing the front wheels, cleaning hubs and re-tightening to SPEC gets rid of this. Had same issue. Dirt builds up.

Thanks Zero.. So what is the issue? They loosen after a bit of use, or they were improperly tightened from the factory?
Whats actually making the noise? Is it moving/riding on the threads a bit?

I have a feeling it has something to do with the two piece rotors. Maybe they can make noise if not perfectly fastened straight. So the little bit of corrosion and dirt on the rotor and hub area allows them to move just enough to cause this noise. That’s just a thought I had. |

I have the same noise I just noticed, never before. Haven't torqued my wheels in a few months, so makes sense..

Check the wheel weights. Might be too close to the brake caliper.
