Clicking Noise

[BLKOUT]

Last night I decided to switch from winter steelies/rubber to stocks due to the great weather. I noticed on the way home a clicking kind of noise coming from the front, each revolution the tire spins. If I apply the brakes, the clicking seems to go away until I let off the brake. Any idea what this might be? The car only has 8k on it.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Black,

Just a couple of thoughts, I would first check the tires for any stones caught in the grooves.If that\'s not the problem take it back to whomever put your wheels on, they might have over torqed the wheel nuts.

Good luck!

Thanks for the response Flag. How can over torque on the wheel lugs make is click? The clicking does go away when I apply the brakes.

Well not to get to technical, over torquing or improper torquing(sequence and amount)of the wheel nuts can cause various problems ex; warped rotors, warped rims,which can also lead to damaged wheel hub bearings etc;...my point was take it back to where ever you had it done and have them pull the wheels off and reinstall them again.....Basically the process of elimination.
