    Clicking!

    I recently removed all of my wheels from my car and reinstalled them. I also added about 15 or so psi to the tires. Ever since then I have this strange clicking noise when I'm driving. It gets faster with speed whether I'm on the gas or coasting. It sounds like it is coming from right under the shifter but my guibo is like new. The center support bearing looks good too. Also, when I first installed these wheels I had a similar click. I was able to bend back the dust shield around the rear brakes and it went away. I can't see the dust shield touching anywhere this time. Any ideas? Its probably something stupid but its making me crazy. Thanks!

          I did notice that the driveshaft seemed really close to the floor of the car. How close should it be? Is there anything that would cause it to move up?

            Maybe someone put some zipties around your half-shafts or driveshaft

              Haha that seriously sounds like it! I was just searching and I stumbled upon a similar issure where the driveshaft was tapping against the heat shield. I'll check that tomorrow.

                Find anything? I am currently troubleshooting the exact same issue.

                  Might have caught your reverse light wiring on the driveshaft and it could be swinging around and hitting the body.

                    Here's what I found. The spacers I'm using allow slightly more lug to be inserted than with stock wheels and the tip of the lug bolt was catching the parking brake cable. WTF?
