So, I'm hearing this ticking sound on my front driver side. It sounds like it's coming from the brakes area. Also, the ticking sound does not appear when it is lifted on jack stands.

Tested for wheel bearing problems by shaking it from 12 and 6 and also from the sides. No free play.

Things about the car:

-Car has been driven for 65,000 miles
-Have stance coilovers with 30k miles
-lug nuts are tighten
-brake pads and rotors are new. I kept checking for proper install and it appears normal
-no vibrations and the suspension/driving feels normal

Went to mechanic and they assume that it might be the wheel bearing due to a small resistance when spinning the wheel. I want to ask you guys and see if it is the wheel bearing before I order a replacement.


Thanks for the help

 

well, i bought a new wheel hub and hopefully that will fix the problem.

 

Most cases the hub and bearing need to be replaced. I would suggest checking your compression rod bushings, lower control arm bushings and end links while you're down there. They tend to go bad on these cars and make noises as well.

 

He wasnt turning, he was just going back and forth, its a wheel bearing, just replace and your good.

 

UPDATE:

Changed the hub and the ticking sound is still there.

I'll check the bushings soon. Anyone have other suggestions I could look into?

thanks!

Edit: I want to stab my car. lol

 

Cracked wheel?

 

I replaced it with the stock wheel and it still made the sound.

The ticking sound is still there and cannot figure out what it is

so weird. Has anyone experienced or heard anything like it?

 

Do you have an arab neighbor?
