    Clicking From Front Wheel

    I have some clicking coming from my front wheel, I believe it's on the left side.

    It clicks relative to the speed the car is moving --- if I drive slowly, the clicking is slow. If I speed up, the clicking gets faster. It seems to go away at high speed, but I'm not sure if I just can't hear it because of the speed / road noise / wind noise. It also seems to go away when I'm braking.

    I think it's one of two things:

    - Control arm issue
    - Brake pad moving around in the caliper (my car does not have brake caliper retaining clips - "anti-rattle clips")

    Any help?

    check to make sure you dont have a rock or stone in your tyre, most common cause of clicking.

      Does it click more when you go over bumps or just relative to speed?
      The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.
