Default Clicking noise driving me crazy !

Bringing it back to the dealer tomorrow.

Clicking noise from right rear wheel, now very noticable when going slow with windows open.

Is not present when going in reverse. Wheel bearing where replaced and axel was lubricated at dealer. Noise went away for a little bit. That noise was more when turning and loading the suspension.

This one is present just going in a straight line. Sounds like something is making contact......click ......click.......driving me CRAZY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad CV joint ?

Aliens wanting me to go insane ???

Pins in floating rotors? If it has floating rotors (I don't know but have experienced this in other cars).

My '07 GT3 did it too. RS more so.
Sounds and feels like left front to me. Lots of right turn tracks, Sebring, RoadATL. is where I hear it the most. Who know, I always feel and hear things, I just ignore.

aliens are our friends, search elsewhere.

clicking frequency is relevant to rotational speed of wheel?

No, it clicks way to slow.
It does not sound like it, but maybe it is those pucks / pads that bounce around in the caliper after you burn off the dust seals after the first session? Man' I hate those crappy pucks, I drop each one at least 3x in the rotor when replacing pads...

I can't think of what it could be, but I feel it in the steering wheel. It did not do it last weekend though...

This is a BMW rotor/hub. I drove a BMW Z4 M Coupe that made a metal ticking sound at low speeds. According to BMw engineering it was the pins sliding around. Don't know if GT3 brakes are the same construction.

Could it be a bad LSD ?

Default Update?

Did anyone ever get an answer as to what this is? Just started happening to my 2009 turbo. Very distinct clicking from rear passenger side hub or suspension at very low speed.

I have the same noise. So I'm curious too.
But I do have floating Gyrodiscs. Hopefully its that.

Try to re-torque your centerlocks, that fixed my issue.

I had a clicking noise recently coming from the rear left and it turned out to be a nail in the tire.

I got this same noise when putting on Girodiscs too. It's just the left rear though. Glad it's probably just related to that.
