Hey guys,

Something that came up recently, under very low speed/coming to a stop, one of my front wheels makes a noise, almost like a wobbling sound. It sounds almost as if the wheel is not tight enough... The noise is more noticeable when I go slowly over a speed bump...

I haven't checked the wheels yet... but I want to see if you guys have a guess on this.

* Things that have changed recently; clicking noise when braking (apparently caused by warped/cracked rotors), and lowered the car 2 months back with swift spec r springs.

As mentioned, this started maybe a week ago (at least noticed it a week ago)...

Thanks

 

I'd check the wheels first before moving on. Check your torque specs on the lug nuts, too.

 

Oh, and did you install the suspension yourself? If not, check their work. If yes, double check all torque on bolts and stuff.

 

if you just put stiffer springs in, it might just be more tire noise. i noticed the same thing when i put coilovers on my lancer gts, especially with the snow tires on.

 

Drive low-speed circles, both clockwise and counter-clockwise. Tell us if it is much worse in one direction.

 

Will do

 

Ok so did slow rounds and when turned completely to the left (counter clock) it was making more noise... Meaning i could hear more clearly what i was hearing before. I also took bumps at an angle so that i hear the wheels individually anc the front right seems to make the noise...

Dont know if this is a suspension issue, a wheel issue or a tire issue

Help is appreciated

 

Grab your right front wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and yank, first with one hand and then the other. Any play? Grab the top of the tire with both hands and yank. Any play?

(For those playing along at home, I'm asking him to test his right-front wheel bearing.)

 

Yeah i got that lol... Funny thing is they recently changed my front hubs because they believed they were a but bent (warrantied)... It's worth a shot i guess

 

LOL. I was confused with the low speed driving because I was set on it being the tire loose until I read that.

 

OK so I had a chance to lift the car up and check the wheel... I am getting no play from the wheel, hubs are fine. Lugs are nice and tight. Really not sure what the noise could be. I'm not getting any weird noise when driving normal, only when going very slow or over bumps.

 

CV joint is next on the list to check.

 

Cv joints would make a clicking sound when turning... When i was doing slow circles i did not notice any clicking sounds

 

Interesting, im having the same issue.

 

What issues have you noticed?
