clicking sound front left tire

[AZ UFO]

When i turn the weel left or right the linkage is making a clicking sound it has been going on for a while now is there any way to get it to stop. it only does it in one weel not both for 50000 miles and it is not constant. any help on what this is would be great. i cant stand it i really need help.

You've either got a nail in your tire you haven't found or the wheel bearing is gone.

Search the forum for all the info related to checking for a worn bearing.

Just for the hell of it, try tightening the lug nuts. I had a clicking noise on a car once that only happened when I drove over a driveway hump. Turned out to be a slightly loose lug nut. It was tight, but just not tight enough. This was way before using a torque wrench on the lug nuts was the established practice.

THAT'S "established practice"?? Damn, am I ever behind the times!

Could possibly be a worn tie rod end. My front passenger side was giving me a "clicking" sound and turns out that's what it is. Ordered the parts and they are being put in as we speak along with a replacement for a worn rubber boot. Good luck!
