Clicking noise coming from Left Front wheel when turning right at almost full lock.

***kcarpent*** · 07-06-2005, 08:03 PM

A brand new LOUD clicking noise, apparently coming from Left Front wheel when turning right at 80 % to full lock. Turning left creates no clicking noise. Driving straight ahead creates no clicking noise. I turned some circles of various radii iin a parking lot with two police officers looking and listening and we have no clue.

They said that they heard the click but don't see anything stuck in the wheel.

Is this the correct group to post in, and what's wrong, and of course how much to fix.....

My STI has 43,000 miles currently, with everything stock.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure the mudguard inside the wheel well hasn't popped loose due to something like cones at an autocross (not that i'd know anything about that...) and is rubbing against the tire.

That sounds like a CV joint to me.

Excellent news, it was just brake parts sticking!

I had my STI's air conditoner line repaired and we checked out the noise.

My left front brake caliper had parts sticking.
He lubricated some stuff and said to blow off the calipers at a car wash. There was some gunk on them.

It doesn't click now.
