i changed my wheels today and later on tonight my front passanger side front end started making a strange noise. t sounds like a ticking type of noise almost like the brakes are dragging but i can push the brakes and the noise is still there. the noise doesnt go off of the rpms only off of the speed. it makes it when the clutch is in or out, in gear or neutral. also one time right before it started making the noise i went to backout of a parking spot and it felt like something was dragging really bad. any suggestions would be great. 94 hatch w/gsr

 

lug nuts on tight enough? sounds like a pad dragging on the rotor or a loose rotor... how does your axle/axle nut look?

 

when i push the brakes it dosent stop. i took the lugs back off and made sure they were tight and that didnt fix it

 

sounds like something is loose to me, have you done any repairs or work to your brakes or tires? is it the front tires, one tire, all tires???

 

or actually your rotors might be warped.

 

i dont think it is the rotors because when i push the brakes it still makes the noise

 

does your car shake?

 

di you check to make sure the backing plate is clear ?

 

no the car dosent shake. if you are talking about the dust shield i took it off ecause i thought that might be making the noise but that didnt help

 

so no shake ... i'll rule out the strut then ... maybe axel is not seated properly ? just throwing it out there. i know the feeling

 

i might try to take the brakes off tomorrow morning. maybe one of the pads is broken?

 

or worn down really bad and you cant see it... what about tire balancing?
