it started ticking
i thought i had a rock pebble in the tires but it turns out nothing's there.

the sound increases with speed, and doesnt change if im on or off the brakes

what the hell could it be ? its annoying as hell ..

 

I had that type of sound too a while ago. I took of the wheel and found a crack in it.

 

I had the same sound, we took the caliper off and looked around, when it went back on it went away. There is a metal backing plate to check for too behind the rotor I believe!

 

I had a click in a front wheel on my old RSA. Turned out to be the center cap in the wheel. Tapped in in with a rubber mallet and clicking gone.

PS... that's the short version... it took about a month of messing around to find it.

 

mine made that sound when i bent a rod...it was hitting the crankshaft

 

rut-roh

 

some times pebble get trapped in the brake rotors. a drive on freeway takes care of that.

does the ticking go away when car is hot? if so, possibly muffler is loose or something inside is loose.

 

I think the same...

 

and the correct answer is..
a crack on the wheel spoke
wierd, considering the lip on the wheel isnt damaged
going in for repair

 

Dont you hate the long versions that have short simple answers??!!!
