Ticking Noise In Back Left Wheel

So got an interesting sound coming out of my back left wheel...

It basically sounds like there is a bearing bouncing around in there, at really slow crawling speed i can here it fall and bounce to a stop. "Tick (loud)... tick(softer) tick (softer still) tick tick tick tick... nothing. So yeah don't know if that helps i have taken the wheel right off and found nothing unusual, didn't dare venture into the hub or anything like that

is it going to be wheel bearing or something annoyingly expensive like that??

any help would be appreciated

i tried to do that but it wouldn't spin... i had the handbrake off but it might not of release properly or something

made sure you weren't in gear too?

the more severe cases of wheel bearing failure can be diagnosed by rocking the hub in and out from the centre of the car but it doesn't sound like you have this

and to add to ^^^ might have something to do with the attessa system linking all 4 wheels - i'm going to assume you need to lift the front wheels too to be able to spin the rears? could be wrong though as i've never owned an awd car

I remember having a similar thing after a wheel alignment.

I took the car straight back & they found some dirt that was throwing the wheel of and somehow causing the ticking noise. :D

Still don't know how, but no probs as soon as they cleaned it out.

when picked up mine second hand.

got handed a recipt of any repairs done to the car.

REAR left wheels bearing replaced . think it was $100-150 max

being a rear left also on yours may be same problem, never heard the ticking noise as i didnt own it at the time

Wheel bearing doesn't really squeak or tick... more like a constant rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

At least that is the sound my front passenger wheel bearing assembly made.

May not be the case for you but I have heard of the guys that change tires leaving old tire valves inside the tire(accidently of course). So might be worth taking the wheel off and giving it a shake. May not be the case for you, but at least its gona eliminate one other possibility.

Thanks for all the imput guys :D

I have jacked the car up and i also thought the wheel wouldn't spin due to the AWD system so wasn't to phased about that.

I did also shake the wheel itself a bit and the noise is not coming form that so i don't think changing the wheel with another would make any difference.

I am thinking its just some kind of stone in there some where thats kinda bouncing around... just SOOOO annoying. Im taking the car in soon for some work so will get em to pull the whole wheel hub.assembly apart n find the little bugger.

Cheers all

Could be way off but do you have 2 or 3 piece wheels? My Celsior has some 3 piece Enkei's and I had a clicking sound too. Turns out the wheels were a little bit loose.

So if that's the case check of the studs and see how you go.

may be worth swapping wheels side to side to see if the noise moves to that side.

not something caught up around the drive shaft?

You cant do that side to side if tryres are unidirectional. Only front to back.

I had that once on an old Nissan stanza but from the front wheel. I eventually traced it to the lead wheel balancing weight that wasn't gripping the rim tight enough and every time the wheel moved, especially at slow speed the weight would move round the wheel and tap against the weight on the other side. Can't remember what it was like at speed cos obviously the wheel was not balanced,

pull the wheel off again and check the shims/springs around the brakes pads and make sure they are not touching the disc.

also check between the caliper and disc make sure no little pebble/stone stuck anywhere bouncing/grinding against the disc seen that happen before.

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
