When I put it in first and start to move forward I hear a clack, clack ,clack sound that becomes faster as I accelerate, it seems to go away once I get up to third gear, almost don't even hear it at high speeds. It happens when I am going straight and makes no difference when I make a turn. I believe it is coming from the right front wheel but can't really be sure, my brake pads are fine and everything else looks ok...

 

wheel center cap... 911s used to do this when the center caps were screwed together... check each of your center caps... rtv the noisey one...

 

The center caps pop on and off...they are plastic.

 

check em... clicking from the wheels are either center caps, or rocks...

next to check are wheel bearings, CV joints, but more likely to be a loose center cap... little dab of RTV and it wont move any more...

 

Just checked them, the right front cap was loose, cleaned it, it doesn't go in as far in as the other 3, and it's not a tight fit, I can turn it around with my fingers when it's on, with the others I can't budge them...

 

+1

 

yep, mine did that and it was the center cap

 

Your rims two piece by any chance?

 

They are 3 piece wheels, I did the center caps, no difference, I did check the top of the strut tower and saw that the bolt was not on tight on the passenger side, so I tightened it, I will see if that makes any difference, but I doubt it, I'm thinking it may be the CV joints or wheel bearings which I will check next.

 

Also check torque on the bolts holding the wheel pieces together...

 

If the wheel was coming apart enough to make noise, air would leak out of the tire before he could drive anywhere.

Why don't you jack that side of the car up and manually spin the right front wheel... maybe you can reproduce the clicking noise, which will tell you a lot.

 

THe wheel lugs are not not loose by any means...I'll have to take it to my guy one of these days

 

We were referencing the bolts that hold the wheels together.

Also, if the noise is coming from the front, then it can't be a CV joint.

 

I know you meant the lugs nuts, It sounds like it's coming from the front, but it's hard to tell with the windows down since they are all about the same in distance from my ears on all 4 corners, if it is from the front, then it must be the wheel bearings

 

No, I didn't mean the lug nuts.
