Weird clicking noise - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Jonbonilla · 07-22-2019, 02:42 AM

So this weekend I was driving I hit a mean pothole and I heard a weird clicking noise from my front driver side I checked to see if everything was tight if there was anything stuck in all 4 of the tires but nothing was there when I steer to my left the clicking noise isn’t there but when I steer to my right it’s there clicking I am on coil overs yes there tighten to and I’m running 18x9.5 in the fronts so I’m wondering if anyone has encounter this before to get an idea what it could be I’m thinking it could be a bad hub.

First off, I'd suggest you check and make sure none of the under panels are lose.

If they are all in place, I'd suggest you take the front wheel off and check the brakes (maybe a pad or the caliper got knocked lose).

If that don't work, I'd take it into a brake/suspension/front end shop and explain what it's doing and ask them to fix it.

Who is ol humfrz trying to kid - I'd just do step three, while I sat in the waiting room and drank a cup of coffee and read a car magazine -

My guesses: Sway bar end link, inner or outer tie rod, wheel bearing, or transverse link bushing.

I'd lift the car and pull/push on some things to see if anything seems abnormally loose (compare sides) including the wheels. Also make sure no boots or bushings are obviously damaged or leaking.

Have a look at the diagram below to get an idea for what's where...

Lift the whole front up, grab a flashlight and your gloves and have a REAL GOOD look.
