Annoying Ticking Sound - Please Help

[tripsteady]

Hi guys

1997 Nissan Skyline R33 S2

Im getting a ticking sound that seems to come from the front right wheel

- alignment done

- tie rod ends replaced

- suspension check - all good , nothing loose except for front right wheel having slightly to much camber

- jacked car up, span wheel - no noise - nothing in way

- rechecked if any cords or anything else in way , all tucked away perfectly.

- doesn't happen when turning

- no difference when breaking

- no difference whether accelerating/decelerating

- noticable from 20km.h to 80km/h - after that sound stops

- car drives fine , steers fine etc..

This is driving me crazy, any suggestions? Could it be cv joints , bearings , stone caught in caliper etc? Anyone been through this before after checking what was listed above?

no screw or nail in tyre - tyres look fine

Your car doesnt have cv joints at the front so you can eliminate that off your list

Swap front right tyre for rear left

See if that changes anything

Check under guard liners? Or try removing guard liners and driving the car?

What Rims?
I've got BBS RS and my middle plate that covers the lug nuts if it twists abit it makes noises.
Just a thought

cant remember brand of rim , not brand name - also has no centre cap lol

thanks for the suggestions guys , im going to have to take it to a suspension shop and see what the hell this is.

Also this doesnt occur when the car is cold , it only happens after driving for over 15min.

could be wheel bearing starting to make noise.

Glad you sorted it.

was that "Tyres Plus"? Plus what? Headaches...

I had tyres rotated at "Tyres and More". More because they didn't tighten the nut on my center caps and I lost one. Had to buy another.

Yes tyres plus Menai - dont like to bash shops but when i went there the first , they backed my exhaust onto the lift , causing the boss to start screaming at his apprentice and punching some tyres laying around - while im sitting in the car hopping my exhaust is okay,

The second time I went there, they did an alignment, car was still pulling to the left horribly , and took over 45 min to do it.

Just felt like they didn't want me there , didn't like the arrogance....but was okay with that since i assumed the work was top notch, Apparently it isn't..

Oh well ,that's what I get for taking my car anywhere other then Unique Automotive.
