    ticking noise

    i need help im trying to figure out this noise it just started.
    so when i drive under 20mph it makes a ticking noise or knocking. But as soon as i go over 20 it goes away even at high speeds. i just replaced my flex dish and center support bearing like a month ago, i hear it in the rear of the car.

        My guess is its one or both of your wheel bearings. Or possibly even your ebrake hardware dragging.

          you seem new. are you sure its not your valves ticking? M20's are known for being sewing machines. that kind of noise would be normal my friend. do a valve adjustment and see what happens

                      rebooting the cv's is an inexpensive but messy job, rebuilt oem are pricy, and aftermarket have hit and miss fitment issues. pick your poison. try a pick and pull or throw a wtb thread up here.
