Hey everybody,

Since ive taken off my wheels, then put them back on again, everytime i turn right, the left had front wheel makes a ticking sound as it turns. If i go faster, the tick is faster so its somethin to do with the revolutioning of the wheel. Anyone have any suggestions? I havent had time to take the wheel off and put it back on, but was hoping that there is a simple solution to this. the sound is very annoying.

Thanks

Well Duncan i thought that too, cos it did that a while ago, and i fixed it by tightening the nuts, but this time it wont stop. the nuts a tight ass. Im thinkin the spacers (blocks) could be loose, so ill take off the wheel and try that.

Also its def not the wheel bearing, as i jacked up the front and it doesnt do it. Like i said, it only happens when i turn right, ie all the weight is on the left hand side.

Thanks

Check less obvious places like the back of the spokes on your wheel or on the inside/outside edge of the disc rotor. I've seen a case where a tar-coated rock, stuck to the inside of a wheel, would just touch on the brake caliper once every trip around :cheers:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
