Phill_92 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hi all, Sorry if this has been asked before. Currently working away from home with terrible internet access so I cant spend much time searching threads. Anyway I was home last weekend driving the Zed with both windows down for this first time in a while. I have now noticed that the front passenger wheel is clicking pretty loudly, infact so loud I have noticed its turning peoples heads. I jacked the car up but unfortunately have lost my locking nut key so I just span the wheel but couldn't get it to click or see anything obviously wrong. I've notice the clicking stops if I turn to the right. The noise is definitely associated with rotation of the wheel and sounds exactly like a CV joint but i'm 99% sure it is coming from the front, does any one have any ideas what this could be? P.s. First thing I checked was stones in the tyres! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Is it related to a certain speed or get more frequent with more speed? Does the condition of the road surface have any baring on the clicking at all? Could it be failing/worn front drop links? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill_92 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 It frequency increases with increased speed an de-creases with less speed. starts from near enough as soon as the wheel starts rotating. Road surface has no effect on the noise. I'm really stumped. Think I will have to go to Nissan to get a new locking nut key and get then get the wheel off and have a dig around. Thanks.

Juggalo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) CV joint? Edited May 14, 2016 by Juggalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Something stuck in the tyre maybe, I know you've checked but it's easy to miss a headless screw or similar. Edited May 16, 2016 by Zeezeebaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
