I was driving to work on the freeway today and all of a sudden i hear this really loud clicking noise when I take my foot off the accelerator or when I brake. I don't know what it could be, anyone have a clue? Ask me any questions to help diagnose this problem. TIA

 

Sounds like a axle? ANy other symptoms?

 

no other symptoms as of yet. A bit of vibration at higher speeds?

 

1) make sure your rims are on tight
2) make sure your axle nut is tight
3) check your axles
4) check your shocks/springs
5) take it to a mech if you can't figure it out by now

 

Thanks lee. Im planning on taking it to a mechanic asap anyways. I hope it's nothing expensive.

 

You're welcome and good luck, but honestly I think you should be able to figure it out yourself.

 

OMFG..One of my studs are broken on my front wheels and out of those 3 lugs on the wheels, only 1 of them were on tight. The other two were so loose that I took them off with my fingers. Maybe somoenes trying to steal my wheels? I'm taking them off tonight and putting my stocks on there...Thanks again Lee.

 

when one stud breaks, if the other 3 aren't tight enough, they will work themselves loose over time. just replace the stud and you'll be fine.

 

mine clicked and my driver side front wheel was wobbling because my lug nuts were loose.. ( ebay lug nuts ) the teeth were worn down by the heat i guess... so yeah
1st steering wheel would wobble and feel gay
2nd car would shake

-- after that your wheel would be gone haha

 

cv joint -- might need to replace the entire axle. Check axles seals too.

Hey whoa. Thanks for all the help guys. After I tightened the other 3, the wheel no longer made any noises nor felt wierd. Couldn't have done it without your guys' help. Here's a drink, on me
