    Metal sound from the wheel

    have noticed strange metal sound from the front passenger wheel. It is especially loud when I go over bumps.

    Here is what happens when I knock on it. It only happens on this wheel.


    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Sounds like a loose gland nut.

      Why don't you take the wheel off and look?

        Yeah, that should be investigated pretty quickly.

          I took the wheel off and check the linkages. I didn't see anything loose. Any ideas?
          Thanks

            Bad upper strut mount maybe? Worn ball joints?

            Put the car in the air and grab the tire with one had on each side and try and shake it back and forth. Do the same with your hands top and bottom. Side to side play is like tie rods, up and down is strut mount or gland nut. Both would be control arm ball joints.
