Clicking noise coming from front wheel

[The Choosey begger]

I started getting the same clicking sound.

bringing this thread back. Did anyone figure out what the issue was?

Mine does this too, I haven't figured out what it is.
i see there is a friction/shim that goes on the both sides of the rotor that can help.
another guy on here said it was where the knuckle assembly connects to the hub.

When I figure out what the problem is this summer I'll update.

Mine does this same noise and it's getting worse, it stops when the brakes a barely applied, so it had something to do with the rotor or huh assembly

I got 12mm spacers between my wheels and hub. The only noises I hear are all the rocks kicking up from the sticky tires and my chattering diff on low speeds until it warms up.

Did the dealer ever figure this out for anyone? Seems like this noise is pretty common on this platform...

[ptyf80]

I´ve installed the friction plates and still getting the noise, i installed one between the hub and the disk and another one between the disk and the aftermarket spacer i have for the front wheels.

Have anybody been able to solve this issue?

Damn nobody has fixed it yet everyone just riding around clicking sounds like crap nobody can fix this?

[Jgomez3190]

Getting this same noise on mine. Any proper fix. Sensors?

Has anyone discovered the issue? I’ve also had this problem for a couple months now. I’d like to know if everyone having this issue is at stock height or on some sort of lowered setup. Mine only started about 2 weeks after I lowered the car.

Usualy the problem is the collar bolt. The collar is a metalic peace that "hugs" the damper
Just tight the bolt and give it a try. Its a "one-use" bolt, even if you tight it, the sound can reaper after a while. But then you know its the bolt, just buy a new one.
Its the nº5

If the sound persists, you must take a look at the spring dust cover.

I can grab the wheel while the car is parked and yank on it. It clicks if I pull hard enough which leads me to think that the bolt you mention could be the culprit. I feel the vibration of every click distinctly within the shield behind the rotor if I put
My finger on it and have a friend pull on the wheel. I will for sure look at this and report to you guys if it’s the cause of my clicking

I had camber plates installed and I had that exact noise and it went away. I don't know if it had to do with the bolt or replacing the strut top mount with plates.
The top mounts have bearings in them and mine seemed pretty rough.

Wanted to chime in here and say I was having the exact same sound/issue and it was the collar bolt that solved it for me ... I could duplicated the noise by turning the wheel when car was stationary as well as gabbing the rim with both hand and shaking (HARD)

I jacked the car up and turned wheel all the way to the left to get access to the bolt. Put the impact on it to tighten (did not seem like it was loose) ... However, after putting car down and testing again, the noise still persisted.

So, I jacked the car back up, loosend / removed bolt entirely and then ran back in (remember there is a nut on backside as well) ... once tight, I put car down and re-tested. Sound was gone and I can no longer duplicate the sound no matter how hard I try.
