I have a 95 LS with a JDM GSR Swap. Ever since I have done the swap the right wheel clicks pretty loud. I thought it was the tire so I put it on the lift and it didnt make it. I dont think it would be the CV Shafts because it has rebuilt CVs put in with the swap. I just bought a new ITR tranny in and it still hasent gone away (No I didnt buy the tranny trying to fix the noise). It seems sometimes it louder than other times and I have noticed the the left wheel does the same click sometimes but its very faint. If anyone could point my a direction that would be great. Thanks

 

Someones gotta have an idea

 

change them damn axles

Last time I heard a click, click, click, noise on my front tire, it was a nail.

 

Well whats weird is that there new axles. Why would it be the axles. I mean it seems like thats the only thing it could be. But I guess Ill take them back if autozone will let me (they only have a limited lifetime warranty).

 

Its not to weird if they were rebuilt axles, the warranty is your best friend right now, go get a working set

 

Do OBD1 cars have evap canisters? Cause that was what made my car click. It freaked me out too. Look by your battery but down farther for a black canister, see if it is hiting anything. Thats all I can think of besides axles. Good luck.

 

Yea it does have one.

 

i have the same problem but on the left side.

i replaced my left axle many times trying to fix it and blaming it on the "rebuit" axle.

finally i was told that i had a "bad ball joint" on the left side. so that might be the same problem you have.

well, actually, my car doesnt click, its more of a metal to metal grinding click.

it only happens early in the moring and everytime i hit a small bump.

kinda hard to explain.

 

if not, since ur just driving in staright line, it could be ur fender liner rubbing against ur tire.

 

Mines just going in a straight line. It doesnt really change over bumps. It changes with the speed of the car. The faster the wheel spins the faster it clicks. I noticed when I turn left (I think) it is it goes away or maybe I just dont hear it. Then when I turn right (I think) the light clicking on the left wheel goes away it seems like. Theres nothing stuck in the wheel or nothing like that. Theres no rocks or anything in the tires, theres no spot where its rubbing at all.

 

check all of your suspension components on the front of your car, torsion bars, ball joints and everthing attached to the front hubs, maybe your brake sensors were not hooked back up. then check to see if your axles are the right length, you said you did a swap, did you use the right axles? just throwing some things out there, the clicking must be coming by way of your driveline . jack the car up by the lower control arms in the front ( thats what i call them they may have another name, they connect the hub to the subframe) so that you have a load on the suspension then start your car and put it in gear, see if you still hear it

 

it might be the whole autozone thing... everytime i have bought anything from autozone(axles, alternators) they dont work then they look at you like its your fault.. funk dat!
