The clicking is back...

esreveRBackwards · 08-11-2008, 03:34 PM

I have an 89 Mk1 non s/c. Have this weird clicking sound coming from the left front wheel. I thought maybe it was the old brakes because the clicking went away for a bit when I changed them out last week... Well it is back... :c|

The clicking is only heard when making hard turns (right) or going over 50+ mph. I need ideas on what to look for...

Yes I pt the wheel on right. Tightened the lugs with my hand. Wiggled tire while turning lugs. Tightened again.

The clicking did not start again right after I did the brakes. I would say 3 - 4 days later I noticed it again.

Hardware missing? Strut mount going out?

My mr2 had this problem cause the front sway bars connecting arms were hitting on the main holding arm for the suspension. Check the clearance.
