    I Have a clicking noise coming from near the front driver side area.. I Have checked the steer axle for any kind of play and nothing. I jacked up the front steer and spun the wheel by hand to see if that's what's make the noise its not. I Can hear this noise from 1-45 MPH till the wind gets loud enough to cover it.. Best way to describe this noise is a Zip tie hitting something... I Have checked for anything loose and fixed any clamps that where hanging down. Faster i go faster i hear it so its speed related.. Its a 2014 T680 Could this be something in the drive shaft? The drive shaft is tight..

    Loose wheel bearing? Jack it up, and from the top of the tire, push and pull like you're trying to pull the tire off the rim. Sounds funny, but you really got to put some weight into it. Learned that from experience...

    Do you hear it when parked and rev up the motor? Or only when moving?

    Only while moving I'm gonna try to pull my covers off tomorrow after I get done rewiring my CB and see if it's still there. Maybe it's a hub cap issue.

    No just weird outside wear on this tire I'm wondering if the wear isn't causing it. This wear started before I had an alignment done. Just haven't replaced the tires yet.
