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.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
