Hi

I'm from South Africa and drive a 2015 Ford fiesta st and noticed a ticking noise from my wheel when I exceed 50kph, I recorded it. When I got home I jacked up the car and spinned the wheel by hand, also recorded. My mate tells me it's the cv joint.
Please have a look and give me your opinion.
Thanks

I'll check now how to upload a sound and a video clip

Yes, sounds like it's coming from the CV joint. Also sounds like a warped brake disc.
A lot of colleagues when they see the video they say cv joint. When I play the sound clip while driving in a straight line above 50kph they don't know.
Its sound like tick tick tick, the faster I go the faster the ticks.

I stuck my phone out the window to record this, right hand drive

I have the same issue, starts at 70kph and just gets louder. Have had all 4 wheels off, checked the tyres for nails etc - nothing. No CV noise at all, just the clicking noise.

Might have found what it could be - had a few people with the same issue after a while, and it seems to be wheel bearings that need replacing.
