well last night on my way home while i was stuck in traffic my car started making come little clicking sound from the front, i had heard it before about a year ago, but it went away. as the car speeds up it starts clicking faster. while im giving it gas or when im stepping on the brakes it doesnt do it??? :wtf: it only does it when its just cruisin, no gas no brakes, and as i start slowing down the clicking does too. it has seem to get worse today and im kinda worried of what it might be. someone help me AGAIN!!! :help::sadwave:

well, today it was REALLY bad. and i decided to look at the wheel while i was moving, i had done it before. and it turns out that one of my lug nut stud things was broken and rest were nearly ready to fall off. i quickly pulled over, jacked the car up, and tighten the lug nuts really good. hasnt made a sound since. :slap: thank god the rest didnt fall off all the way and i nothing else didnt happen. that was a close one. :hs:

I'd replace all the studs, probably messed the threads up. Don't need that happening again. Your car though.

always remember to torque the lugs to 80 foot pounds....your lucky tho....my neighbor had 4 of them fell out and one left...believe it or not it made it home...he had to walk to the parts store to pick some up and he found a lug nut across the street from where he heard the big click.... good job dude.
