Clicking from wheels/suspension?

Nighthawk07 · 06-05-2007, 05:54 PM

I just had new wheels put on my car a week ago and I'm starting to notice a clicking or a tapping maybe that fluxuates with the speed of the car. It almost sounds as if theres a nail in the tire, and the sound is the nail hittin the ground as the tire rolls, but my tires appear to be fine. Any suggestions on what this may be? Something in the brakes perhaps?

Check the tread to make sure no rocks or stones are stuck. I have had small pebbles get stuck in the tread and the noise was terrible. Otherwise see if something is rubbing. Do you know exactly which corner of the car the sound is coming from?

Yea I looked for rocks also, didn't see anything. It seems to be the front passenger.
