I'v got a weird ticking noise, which sounds like its coming from the front.
driver side ( right here in OZ ) . Happens when turning left, speeds up and slows when accelerating and slowing, straight line no ticking, with or without brakes applied.


06 track roadster with Rays GTF's 9.5X19+17 with 245/19/35 on the front. New DBA 5000's with Ferodo 2500's, Bilstein pss10's.

I'm thinking it may be bearings or steering related.

Any ideas , thanks in advance.

 

wheel bearing is the only thing I can think of without inspecting it myself.

 

That'l be the my first inspection tomorrow. Nice ET and 60 ft.

 

Thanks man, I'm saving for the turbo kit next :P Let us know what you find out.

 

I have the exact same problem.. it has begun to shake the hole car actually..
I believe it is the HUB assembly/ wheel bearing, I hope it it is the wheel bearing..
the shaking/noise is getting worse after 80Mph am I right?

 

Lift up the wheel, check for lateral movement. I''ve been starting to notice mine doing the same thing. On the same wheel. Going to check em all today.

 

I did check it for movement... it did'ny move actually....
my mechanic told me it could be the tire as well.. but I know it is'nt that, because it also did it with my old tires..
so I'm a little lost.

 

Well! An update, bearings seem good, no wobble. CV boots are in good condition. Driver side ( right for OZ ) end links - no movement.
But I did wash the car and hosed the wheels, the ticking stopped for a bit but now its back.
Bugger

 

Hose em again. See if that's really fixing it. One wheel at a time.

 

Ok!!!!

Removed the suspect front wheel, noticed the lugs (kics 40's) had been installed tighter than normal, installed wheel hand tightened. All good.

Go figure, looks like my garage guy may have over tightened when re-installing.
