so i came to tampa friday night. the car was fine most of the way, after about halfway there i started feeling this "click" sound every mile or so, it wouldnt aallways do it but it do it for a while in those intervals, one simple click, then another. feels like it comes from the driver side front susp.

i recently had the front driver side wheel bearing and splindle replaced.

today i woke up and went to put gas in the car for the drive back tomm, and as sooon as i exited my park. spot, i started feeling this uuglyy. and at first looud noise, from the front driver side -_-. so i thought well its rained aloot...lets see what happens after a couple of miles...its dissipated...but not gone.

everytime i start slowing down or accelerating, from 20-0 or from 0-20 it makes the noise...

now im worried about drivin down for 4 hrs tomm, especially since they say its goonna rain.

another note i got, i went to mac d's and when i was in the parkin lot i took a couple of those speed bumps. sloowly, and each time immidiately after the bump, i felt a weird noise from the front driver side...like somethings loose idk its odd. auto parts told me it could b the busing. told me to spray wd40 but i dnt even kno wher they are...

im sorry for such a long story..but weird sounds and noises are my number one pet peeve and my max seems to hav a new one every day...

i know it sounds simple...but check the lug nuts.
i had the same thing happen and all the lugs were loose

aw damn it. i must be the only idiot in the north american continent without the wrench or jack.

i cant seem to find them anywhere



any other ideas? could it be something serious? i mean recently i was having a very simmilar issue but i already replaced the wheel bearin and spindle, ive ran up here 3 times since then, and now on the 4th trip this noise comes up...

i swapped my stock wheels back on and everything was fine for about a week. left VA to drive my car back to OK and about 2 hours in started getting the sound. i was under the car checking everything and couldnt find anything wrong. my girl said, "im not trying to make you feel stupid, but did you check the lug nuts?" she was right.

TurtleHead

If not the lug nuts, could it be a damaged CV? Look at the boots on your CV joints and see if they look intact.

yeah. i had just started the trip and was getting worried. they were so loose that i could tighten them by hand

TurtleHead

Yea, the simplest things will get ya. I had a old supervisor who just had his tranny replaced in his truck. This first day back from getting it, I tied zipties to his drive shaft so every time he moved the truck, it made a clicking noise. He was so mad....he brought it back to the shop to have the techs tel him we were playing a joke on him. lol...good times....
