OK... here we go again. So about a week or two ago, the front left tire area has begun making a tapping or ticking noise. It sounds metallic in nature. It generally only occurs during low speed turns, although I wouldn't be able to hear it over the him of the tires at higher speeds if it were there. Every now and again I'll here it going straight, but not often. For some reason, my first though was brakes. You know how familiar sounds or smells can trigger random memories? When I first heard it, I thought of my old jeep and brakes, but I don't friggin remember why? My more edumacated thought is a bearing. What do y'all think? By the way, I'm fix in to sell her, so I'm trying to fugged out the issue on my own and just list it in the ad. Thanks doods. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
Mine was louder when i backed up and turned my wheel. Or drove it long enough to get it warmed up to making noise.
jack it up and see if the wheel has end play, top to bottom or side to side. It may not have end play but give a click or squeal sound when jacked up and rotating the tire.

I used a breaker bar, the bolts are torqued at 200 ft lbs.
Thanks for the posts guys. I have a shop on post, so I'm going to try and replace both fronts some time this week. I just had the PS completely replaced and the ball joints. I guess it makes sense that it would be time for these to go too. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
