Ticking noise from the front when turning

johnnyv · 10-16-2005, 10:11 PM

When turning the steering to the left while moving the car very slowly - I hear a ticking noise coming from the front passenager side.

This always happenings when going in reverse to park my car:
Drive straight - stop - go in reverse - move the car slowly while turing the wheel and I hear tick tick tick. (the steering wheel is not turned all the way)

Any ideals on what's causing this?

its probably your axle, j/k. check your brake shield or possibly check for tire clearance if your running non oem wheels,

I'll check the brake shield. I'm using OEM wheels (17" - 10 spoke). Funny thing is the noise only happens when I'm moving very slow (less than 5km/h) - anything faster - and I dont hear it.

I'm also getting some creaky noises too with the ticking.

Lube the brake caliper and pad contact points w/a high temp brake lube like Sil-Glyde.I agree w/ the other stuff to check also-but it could be a brake noise also.

om not sure how the abs sensor or whatever the hell is in ther but i guess just pull the wheel off and check for anything visibly wrong with the brakes
