Hey Everyone,
I need your help here. I have been noticing over the past 2 weeks a particular noise that comes out of my front left wheel. It sounds like a clicking sound. It only really happens when I turn left and occasionally when I turn right. At first I thought it may have been a loose caliper, maybe the rotor rubbing against a pad when the hub would flex under turning. I took the wheels off and made sure that all my bolts were right, I even went through the hassle of re-lubing up all the pistons on the calipers to make sure that they didn't squeak. The swaybar endlinks are nice and tight and the bushings that hold the swaybar are tight and lubed up as well. My alignment is spot on, as I just had it redone about 3 weeks ago and the bolts that hold the strut in place as well as the nuts that hold the strut hat in the tower in place are within spec as well. I do have the 6 point brace from James, and all the bolts that hold it down are torqued down. I first started to hear this noise when I would park at work in the parking garage. Today I noticed that the noise got worse, so when I got home this morning I decided to strap my GoPro camera to the Fender to identify the characteristics of this noise and hopefully be able to hone in on the issue. The interesting thing is that the noise only appears when the steering wheel is turned, when the wheels are straight, the noise is gone.
