Hey everybody,

Since ive taken off my wheels, then put them back on again, everytime i turn right, the left had front wheel makes a ticking sound as it turns. If i go faster, the tick is faster so its somethin to do with the revolutioning of the wheel. Anyone have any suggestions? I havent had time to take the wheel off and put it back on, but was hoping that there is a simple solution to this. the sound is very annoying.

Thanks

Well Duncan i thought that too, cos it did that a while ago, and i fixed it by tightening the nuts, but this time it wont stop. the nuts a tight ass. Im thinkin the spacers (blocks) could be loose, so ill take off the wheel and try that.

Also its def not the wheel bearing, as i jacked up the front and it doesnt do it. Like i said, it only happens when i turn right, ie all the weight is on the left hand side.

Thanks

Check less obvious places like the back of the spokes on your wheel or on the inside/outside edge of the disc rotor. I've seen a case where a tar-coated rock, stuck to the inside of a wheel, would just touch on the brake caliper once every trip around :cheers:

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
