    Clicking Noise Behind Steering Wheel?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi All,

    The Problem:
    This Clicking Noise started yesterday on my drive home from work - https://youtube.com/shorts/d2J-FZHaA...JgodFwoRHiXs7h

    It only clicks when I'm going straight or turning slightly. The clicks coincide with my speed. Go Faster, clicking speeds up, go slower, clicks slow down.
    The Clicking goes away on sharper turns or corners, as well as when I apply medium to heavy breaking.

    Any clues as to what could be causing this?

    Last Service:
    I had my car in the shop on Feb. 7th. They did an oil change, new NGK Spark Plugs, as well as the 034 Stage 1 ECU/TCU Tune.
    Their report showed that everything was fine except for some small amount of dried coolant around the water pump. I will be replacing the Water Pump, PCV and Thermostat this month yet.

    Can't watch the video at work but I can think of either the CV joint is going or maybe the brake dust shield is touching the disc.

    I had the latter happen to me on a car only when the car was heading slightly left. To the right and it was quiet again.

    I'm hoping its something dumb like the shield touching the disc.

    As I've been driving more today, I have noticed that the clicking sound comes and goes. I haven't changed anything about my driving style either.
    I'll keep an eye/ear on it for the next few days and report back if there is anything new I have discovered. I'll hopefully be able to get it onto a lift this weekend to check the CV.
