YACT: Clicking noise while driving

I've recently been hearing a clicking noise coming from around my tires. It seems to only occur when the vehicle is in motion and going forward. It doesn't seem to produce the clicking sound when my car is in reverse. The clicking sound gets faster as my car is moving faster and the sound is nonexistant when my car is slows to the 0-5mph range. There doesn't seem to be any clicking sound as I make turns.

Could the source of my problem be from the CV joint or could it be something else?

Thanks

Not necessarily. I've had cv joints go bad in my previous car and in a few instances it only made clicking noises going straight while accelerating.
 
Have it checked out. Is it a new car and still under warranty? If so just just take it back to the dealer and let them fix it.
 
i hear it in my car too. its the abs at work. it fluctates the pressure for your antilock brakes by squeezing the calipers lots of times quickly. this keeps it from locking up and you skidding. i noticed it and wondered till i was told

Ouch. Is there anyone you know that's good with cars, or are you good with them yourself? I wouldn't let strange noises in my car go unchecked.

Does this also occur when you aren't braking?
 
Could also be the anti-rattle clips for your brake pads. CV Joints almost always don't produce clicking noises unless they're being turned. Bad CV joints going straight usually humm like wheel bearings.

yes. its constantly at work since you car never knows when your going to brake. it gets lesser as the car slows down just like yours. 🙂
 
TURN OFF YOUR F$*&* BLINKER! :|

😉

Are you sure it doesn't occur in reverse? The noisier reverse gear and slower speeds can obscure the sound of, say, a rock stuck in your treads, which is probably the most common cause of clicking noises from the tires.

For the sake of those who might not know you're joking, the above is complete and utter crap.

No. The ABS shouldn't always make noise.

It doesn't work that way. The ABS does not pulse when the car is not skidding.

wait, wtf dude, no honestly.

atleast know what ABS is and how it works...

it ONLY actuates when your tires LOCK UP.

you need to GTFO.
 
A typical ABS is composed of a central electronic unit, four speed sensors (one for each wheel), and two or more hydraulic valves on the brake circuit. The electronic unit constantly monitors the rotation speed of each wheel. When it senses that any number of wheels are rotating considerably slower than the others (a condition that will bring it to lock[1]) it moves the valves to decrease the pressure on the braking circuit, effectively reducing the braking force on that wheel. Wheel(s) then turn faster and when they turn too fast, the force is reapplied. This process is repeated continuously, and this causes the characteristic pulsing feel through the brake pedal.

the noise is the calipers. you people are newbs

Exactly what it says "While the brake pedal is being applied"

oh my GOD.

you are retarded.

anyways, clicking could be a number of things

CV joint, lifters/tapits, bearings, playing card, stick, etc.

it still senses the wheels slowing down. the noise your hearing is it pulsing the calipers.

do you know what ABS even stands for??

UNLESS you are SKIDDING ABS will NOT apply.

it is a DORMANT ANIMAL, when you STOP on ICE, and you LOCK a WHEEL UP, it then ENGAGES, it does NOT do ANYTHING during NORMAL driving.

sort of like you should NOT be saying ANYTHING in a thread you know JACK SH;T about.

now get the FVCK out of this thread. you fvcking dumbass

Get out of this thread already. You have no idea of what you're talking about.

Have you ever touched a wrench in your life?

ABS ONLY activates when braking, and braking hard. If ABS was really squeezing your calipers intermittently when you were driving down the street normally, ABS vehicles would get awful gas mileage and have to change their brake pads every time they changed the oil.

The calipers do NOTHING if the brake pedal isn't being touched.
