Back wheel ticking

Post by onc onc »

And its not a bomb :wink: Any idea,s i have checked for stones in the tyre, but it is that sort of sound. however the sound is coming from the offside rear wheel and is a lot more noticeable when taking a long sweeping curve to the left, and does ,nt seem to make the noise when steering to the right, any ideas peeps?

Cheers

Hello,

Kids put gravel in your hubcap :?:

Wheel nuts properly tightened :?:

When were the rear hubs last pulled... maybe a broken spring in there...

Or just the usual hub bearing / CV joint issues...

Cordialement,

I had the self adjuster pawl (the bit riveted on to the shoe that engages with the adjuster) snap in half on mine.
I heard it go as I pulled away, a big springy twang sound, followed by the sort of noise you describe.

It would be worth checking the drum brake for any broken bits.
