Sounds like a stone stuck in the tyre but more metalic. Yes I did check for stones first :D . I must point out that it happens while moving. Not the stand still steering rack slip problem.Symptons:Only ticks while turning left when driving. Driving right is fineOnly happens after driving for awhile - never happens start awayTicking sounds like a stone stuck in wheel but more metalic.Ticking noise happens on every 1 revolution - tyre or brake most likely involvedBraking while it happens doesnt stop the tickingThe more you turn the louder it can becomeCar:06 BF typhoon lowered with brembo 6 potsAny ideas? ...steering rack? wheel bearing? I have given it a visual check and cant see anything like scuf marks etc. I keep thinking maybe the brake line is touching something like a wheel weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking its the blower unit behind the glovebox but I haven't been able to get to it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lowered the glovebox and sure enough the filter and inlet was full of old leaves and bark etc. Vacuumed it all out. Nice and quiet now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming its front. Check the brake lines - Fords did a recall (not sure if this is valid for your brake setup) as the lines were too short and maybe something has happened. You need take the wheels off to get a good view of the brake lines. I changed my brake lines on my BA. Others - yeah get a ticking noise with my air com fan near 3/4 high setting - think its bearings as well - must be an age thing with our cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing that popped into my head was brake line touching something it shouldnt. Other ideas people have come up with are disc brake not properly secured, loose bolt etcNot a CV joint noise. Its the outter wheel area.LOL no not the indicatordiff bush?any other ideas? wheel bearing? Edited 09/01/13 07:46 AM by FOONIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
