    hey guys i just drove back from work and when i slowed down i noticed a clicking noise. so i investigated and found that it is my front left wheel. what can be the cause of this? are the wheel bearings had it? the clicking is like once every second when i was going 10ks. help would be very much appreciated :)

    Have you checked the tread for nails, screws, gravel etc. ?

    If your wheel nuts are loose, it will make a clicking sound as you go along. Check them first. (Don't ask me how I know :eek:)

    Being the puncture king, I agree with this answer as the most likely culprit.

    +3 for rock or screw stuck in tread. Another (fairly unlikely) cause is a stuffed ABS sensor on that corner.

    I think loose wheel nuts would be considered serious!

    Explain the ABS Sensor more pls... mine has been doing it under braking for quite a while now, havn't looked to far into it, but there is nothing stuck on the pad & nothing obvious to cause it, but its only under braking..
