Clicking coming from front wheels (I think) when I turn

[nhgaudreau]

I've only had my '17 GT350 for a couple months now (2k miles), but ever since I got it, I've heard a clicking coming from the front wheel area (I think) when I turn. I hear it from the left when I turn right at above 10-15 mph and vice versa.

Any idea what that could be?

check lugs and other areas for anything loose.

I recently started hearing that exact same sound. I thought it was a rock in the tread but I didn't see anything.

Someone started a post on the GT350 owners Facebook group and the fix for him was to make sure to tighten down the lugs nuts to the proper torque spec (150 lb-ft).

Hope this helps!

Check that lugs are at 150 ft-lb.

When I had a clicking sound I thought was coming from the front, it was actually the driver's side rear axle drying up because of a leak. Once it was replaced the noise went away.

Only happens at higher speeds? Does the frequency of the clicking increase with speed? Do you hear it on the highway?

Average speed (25-50mph) left and right turns. I don't hear it when I am going straight. The wheels are torqued to 150ftlb. It seems to increase with speed. It really sounds like a single stud or rock in the tire but as I said I checked the tires. I will check the cv joint when I get home.

Yeah, that's the situation I'm in, but I haven't checked the torque on the lugs yet. I think I read somewhere that it could be the center cap in the rims, but I haven't tried securing those better either. Will try this weekend.

I have this in both front wheels. Will recheck the lugs but I am the one who torqued them last I believe.

I'm concerned it's CV joints though.

There is no CV joint in the front. It's not AWD.
I have heard people had axle nuts not fully tightened.

I'm not fully caffeinated :lol:

Had the exact same thing and was convinced it was something BAD. Turned out to be the part number tag on the driveshaft whipping around in the tunnel under the car!

Interesting. I'll have to raise the car and check.
