ScottJeep Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Spring retainer on the caliper has is most likely hitting your rim. Use stick on weights? Ask me how I know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Could be several things. OP, have you tried to jack it up and spin the wheel and look/listen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 My XJ started making a nasty clicking sound one morning on my way home from work, was definitely from the front, left side. Wasn't there while moving, and clicked faster the faster I went. U-joints were fine, truck drove fine, braked fine. Determined it was a rock stuck in the tread.

ScottJeep Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Good Luck. Since you asked. I know because I just bolted up a set of new tires/wheels I scored from my buddy ( THANKS P.S. ) and almost immediately noticed this....click, click, click from the left front...Pulled the wheel the wheel had a double layer of stick on weights.... the spring on the caliper was scraping the double stacked weights....so I swapped it with the wheel from the back. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando87mj Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I doubt that could be the problem because the clicking had just started like a week ago and also I have 1 year old jeep wrangler sport rims and tires w/ a wheel spacer and don't think it would be scraping against it but you know any things possible .

carnuck Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Re-check the wheel nut torque. Spacers have been known to come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
