Click Click Click

Theres are ticking noise coming from the rear drivers side wheel. It stopped doing it after giving it some beans on the motorway but then has started doing it again. I have looked for anything stuck in the wheel but theres nothing there.

Everything looks like it should be as far as I can tell. It sounds like a tick which gets faster as speed increases.

Anyone any ideas?

Cheers

I'm going to say wheel bearing.

I was thinking that, stupid question so bear with me.... do you need a new wheel if the wheel bearing is gone? *Prepares to get flamed*

Lol no, depending on if you have disks on the back you need a new brake disk, if not then it's just a bearing you'll need.You can tell which side is knackered if you jack it up and spin the wheel, you should still hear the clicking noise.

It could be something simple like a stone stuck in the tyre grooves "clicking" as it hits the tarmac.

I would get under the car and get a look around everything, make sure nothing's catching and spin the wheels (while they are in the air ) in both directions to source the noise

I'll get the tyre off tomorrow! cheers for the advice, if not I reckon its the bearing, are they hard to change?

Will need doing at a garage you need a press to get the old bearings out and the new ones in.

You don't need the tyre off lol just spin the wheel and feel the grooves/treads

As said - get a garage to do your bearing (usually abuot £15)
