Clicking

SERturbo07 · 2008-07-31 15:36:42

I just got new rims and i keep on hearing a click when i accelerate, and brake. Its coming from the front tires i think its the hubs but thats just my guess. Anybody know what it can be?

What size wheels and tires did you get?

Check the wheel well and brake caliper, see if there is any rub marks or shaved rubber.

Might sound like a dumb questions but did you leave the tire info sticker on the tires, I'v known people to leave that on and then freak out at the noice it makes while driving.

it could be a rock stuck between ur tire threads u should check them out

SERturbo07 · 2008-07-31 23:01:41

its only right when i take off or when i begin to brake. the rims are 18in so i have plenty of clearence, and theres no stickers or rocks on the tires. Idk what it is

mayeb you need some hubcentric rings for a better fitment.

It might not be your wheels. My car has been doing that for a while, but I have never had time to take it to the dealer. How many miles do you have on your car? I think mine started at around 15k.

How long have you had your wheels on. If it hasn't been long re torque the lugs. They sometimes come loose after initial install

Mine did that. Nissan replaced my left axle. No more clicking. It happened after I wheel hopped real bad at the track.

That sounds right. I have a feeling that is what mine is too.

My friend works for nissan and he told me it was the pin thats on the hub, but he said its normal it just came loose after i took it to the dealer for my warped front rotors. But im still going to take it to the dealer cause that post about replacing the left axle is scarry

08ser · 2008-08-11 17:04:09

yea sounds about right mine started after i had wheel hop a few times

I have an 07 Spec V and a 07 Altima SE. My Spec doesn't do this but our Altima did. Took it to the dealer and they found a cotter pin that was in no danger coming off but wasn't tight to the shaft. So we only heard when taking off and braking. That is when the shaft is spinning slow enought to allow the pin to slide up and down making an annoying "Click, Click, Click", you get the idea. I thought this would be one of those mystery problems that would linger for weeks (HATE RATTLES), but they found it in like 3 mins. Then fixed in like 3 seconds.

If this is your problem and you don't think it was doing it before, it could just be that you didn't notice it or the acoustics from your new rims are allowing you to hear it now.

Hope this helps.

I don't hear a click from my car but if I hold it at around 1500 I hear more of a chirping sound coming from my front left.

Are you moving or at a stop? Cause if your at a stop, it is probably another issue from what is probably going on in this thread.
