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.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
