Strange Front End Sound

[TwoToneHatch]

Ok guys I'm going to explain this the best I can.

My buddy has a slightly lowered '89 GT with a set of Draglites. It's making a metallic "clicking" noise from the front end . it's especially noticeable when moving slow but is still there when moving at normal speed. Could it be the bearings up front? Maybe the Draglite it self starting to fail? I appreciate any input :SNSign:

it could be a million things, check the brakes, brake shields, calipers, anything possibly hanging that may rub, it could be bearings, make sure all the bolts are tight and nothing is moving around.

Ok. i was gonna check everything over with him tonight but we didn't have anytime. I know it could be a million things but figured it didn't hurt to ask.



Thanks for the input

I had to grind off the tabs that hold the outer brake pads on the caliber, could be that, or the wheel itself, my rodlites tick while turning.

He beat me to it, I just had this problem only when turning right after I did my brakes and found out it was that. I just hammered the outside of the tab in and it was fine. Try that first, or first jacking up the wheels and spinning it although sometimes it wont show it like mine.

If he just had the brakes or wheel off I would bet that's it.

Take the center caps out and see if it still makes the noise........
