Hi, need some help on the clicking noise front the front whilst Turning. Going straight sometimes have it but it’s not so prominent. Some tell me it’s wheel hub bearings, Google tell me it’s the struts. Any of you have this issue?

 

Could be as simple as a missing brake pad clip. I don't think it's a strut because the sound repeats with wheel rotation, so it's something in the wheel /brake/bearing.

Get the wheel off and try to recreate the sound by turning the wheel or check for play by pulling it in, out, left, right and up and down. There be zero play.

 

Thanks Loki. thats what i thought. I went to a mech previously and he keeps telling me it a Control arm issue. Bushings maybe. but it felt weird because it just seems to happen when the wheels rotate.

 

I mean it could also be a control arm issue. There was a recall on those. It just wouldn't be my first guess.

 

Make sure all lug nuts are torqued to 108 ft-lbs

 

I had a wheel bearing go bad before on me. Doesn't sound like that.

If a wheel bearing is bad, the noise will change when you steer, and you can easily spot it by jacking up the car and listening to the wheels carefully as you freely spin them.

 

See this by eccles on this forum:

According to the latest TSB, the specified lug nut torque has been increased from 65-87ft-lb to 108ft-lb to counteract the clicking noise that some of us have been reporting on tight turns.
