Default odd noise

Ok, lately i've noticed a knocking noise whenever i accelerate in the lower gears. I'm pretty sure its not the engine because it doesnt do it while just idling (sp?). but then again, i have limited knowledge on the anatomy of cars. Sometimes i dont hear it at all...my friend suggested it had something to do w/ the wheels...any suggestions/hints/help? thanks.

check your lug nuts to make sure they're tight...

Remind me to take a look at it next time I see you. I don't think either one of us were physically capable of driving last time we hung out.

i get a clicking type noise from my right front wheel area. slows down and speeds up as i increase/decrease speed. ive checked the tire for nails or anything of the sort and cant find anything.

could i have the same thing going on that badbeck has?

Start by checking the obvious...CV boots, ball joints.

Things that have happened to me with similar symptoms: Loose lug nut(s), nail in tire and a TINY ass pebble stuck between the brake rotor and dust shield.

Guess which one made the most/worst sounding noise -_-"

if you took your lug nut locks off...and put the mount back on without the lock...that could cause it too.....assuming you have lug nut locks and took em off
