Clicking Front Wheel??

[MrC]

My V8S seems to have developed a clicking from somewhere behind my driver's side front wheel when the car is moving. Cannot see anything, and no untoward effects as yet, but very odd. Any ideas??

Pads rattling in the calipers, maybe? Does it stop when you put slight pressure on the brakes?

[MrC]

No, not that. Frequency of clicking sppeds up/slows down as car does though..?

[bilton_d]

have you just had the wheels balanced? sometimes the stuck on balance weights can catch the calipers causing a clicking noise.

Stone stuck in the tyre tread?

Cracked wheel bearing, perhaps. Had it happen to my Tasmin once. A chip from the inner race got lodged in amongst the balls and made some right noises.
Dunno why the race chipped,though...

Go with Leadfoots answer, but also look for small glass or metalic objects in there too (difficult to see)

Nissan Micra stuck in the tyre.

(Sorry Manek - couldn't resist again!)

Thought you guys had it there - and I really was hoping to find a Micra in the tyre tread! However, still no joy. What is odd is that with the wheels jacked up and spinning there is no noise - only when I'm actually rolling along the road!?! May have to part with some cash at my friendly local dealer - Doh.
