I was just wondering if anyone here has had the same problem that I am. I've been hearing a clicking noise that sounds like it's coming from my right front wheel. I've changed wheels, rotors, sway bar bushings, and I can not figure out what is making that noise. If anybody has had the same problem or has any ideas as to what may be causing it, please let me know.<br>Tim

Have you tried to replace the struts yet? A friend of mine said that's what it might be but I haven't gotten around to changing them yet.

did you try replacing the wheel bearings if the clicking gets worst when you turn it is definiteley wheel bearings. have fun they are pressed on the hub and may require removing the spindle<br><br>Later<br>Dwayne

I have replaced all front bearings, inside and out, and even the 2 rear ones and the noise is still there. I'm going to try replacing struts, and if that's not it i'll check the sway bar. If I figure it out I'll let everyone know.

The clicking noise is definitely not coming from the struts, I replaced mine and it still does it. I'm going to try getting alignment done and see if that solves the problem. Let me know if anyone figures out what it is.

I had some similar problems with my 1992 Ford Thunderbird. I ended up replacing my bushings on I believe it was the stabalizer bar. The one on the A-frame was shot and if you grabbed on to it it shifted up and down, I could actually spin the bar almost completely around. Go under your car and grab a hold of it and if it moves and you can see that the bushings are shot, take it somewhere and get them replaced, I tried to myself but I didn't have an air compressor or a lift so I couldn't get the job done.You'll need an allignment too, I hope that info helps. The bushings in total will run ya about $125 if you buy them yourself. Good luck!

Are the bushings you're talking about the ones on the end links of the sway bar that attach to the A-Frame by the struts, or the ones that attach in the middle of the sway bar to the frame of the car? Or are they completely different ones all together? I've already replaced all the bushings on the sway bar and it still has not helped with anything.

One other thing regarding a clicking noise. On my 1991 TBird with hubcaps instead of alloy wheels, the 5 screws that held the hubcap onto the wheel, caused the clicking noise I had endured for so long. The screws were supposed to have washers on them to keep them from rattling around. Without them there was a tiny gap that made a rattling sound that was difficult to pinpoint. If you have hubcaps instead of just alloy wheels, you might want to check them.
