I have been trying to pinpoint the culprit for this irritating noise on my evo I just bought. Clicking/tapping coming from front passenger side wheel. Only really does it on takeoff, and it is getting louder the more I drive it. I have checked all suspension bolts and bushings, removed the bumper to rule that out. It sounds like it's specifically coming from the wheel itself. Possible wheel bearing? CV boot is in good shape from the outside. Thanks bros!

hard to tell from video

does it click when you turn it while moving? if so its the axle.

Doesn't do it when turning which makes it so weird. Only from takeoff. I'm stumped!

Make sure the steel dust shields are not contacting the rotor. Common problem, especially after a brake job or removing the wheels

Ok I checked the dust shield. All is good there. I noticed it will happen if I slow down and hit a bump of some sort. Could it be a bad strut or strut tower bearing?

I 100% agree with that. Just cant find what it is.

Hey guys, Im new to the forum, got my first car, a 2010 GTS. Any idea how to start a thread? I've been looking all over for the button but I cant find one. Thanks!

Go back to Evo General. See red button above announcement.

I don't know what he drives but if it is an Evo 8 with the open front differential, my guess would be a tooth missing on one of the bevel gears in the front differential.

it's an 05. Gonna try to get it on a lift here soon. Getting it tuned in a few weeks and my tuner said he will take a look at it. Thanks for all the replies!
