Clicking sound when over 15mph....

My car started having a clicking sound. Seems like it is coming from the area of right front wheel. It is pretty steady until I slow down to 15mph, then it completely stops. Any ideas?

 

thanks

Sounds like maybe a CV joint could be getting ready to fail. Does the clicking get any louder when your turn?

 

I've haven't noticed either way....

In my experience, when a CV is on it's way out, it starts clicking in turns long before you get any noise while going straight.

 

I'm leaning towards a hub or a CV.

Mine is doing the opposite, it's under 15 mph and it's as you turn the wheels. I would like to know as well... How hard are CV shaft's to do in these cars, (mine is a Lumina) but I'd imagine it's the same?

Figured mine out... finally had a second person to turn the wheel while I went under there and it's definitely the left strut on my car. I know that doesn't help you so now I'm going to go with a CV shaft for your car.

You might jack that wheel up, and try spinning the wheel back and forth with the trans in park. I bet you'd get some noise if it was the CV.

well, the bearing/hub definitely needs to be replaced because it is humming pretty good now....I am going to look at finding the correct p/n for the CV and the hub as I do think both are two separate issues...
