Wheel clicking

On my 07 ss At 5 mph my front driver side wheel you hear a clicking. It sounds like a playing card in a bike tire. What can I do to fix it and what is it?

sounds like a possible cv axle issue although typically that would be heard while turning. make sure theres nothing caught in the brakes around the rotor and caliper area. Also make sure your little center cap isnt loose ive seen those cause noise issues at the shop

Also, Check tire tread for big rocks in the grooves.

the ss does have a limited slip differential that will making a clickin sound when u back up and then start to move forward in the car. if that is what ur hearing, its normal, but only if it happens when changing direction from backwards to forward.

Have you rotated or changed your tires recently?

I just got the car last Saturday so not sure I am getting new tires on today. It has Goodyear eagle gts and I had a bad experience with those in my mustang.

It almost sounds like someone dragging a stick on the rim its not really a slight clicking it's more of a knocking

I would say check to see if all the bolts are tightened up, my friend had a similar sound and that was the reason.

Eagle GT's are good tires. Probably one of the best All-Season tires out there.

Newer stock ones.

GMSC Lighting makes some really nice Retrofits. You'll have to sign up on GM Sport Compact . Net though, because I don't know that he sells on any other site.
