New wheels... new sounds
I just got new wheels volks ce28's and im loving them. Only problem is that since i put them on, ive been hearing a clicking noise coming from both side. At first i thought it might be the wheel spacers (5mm) but i already check that out. I hear it more when im turning. Can anyone give me suggestion to what it might be?

do you have hub centric rings? right lug nuts? jack the car up and turn the wheel by hand and see if you can hear where it might be comming from. might just be the axles but that wouldn't just start because you put some wheel on.

replaced my axles and guess what?? Noise continues. Thats 400 dollars down the drain. My old ones were still good. Well when i turn the wheels i hear that clicking noise. Some suggested it might be the rack and pinion. 900 and something dollars at the dealer!!!! Also might be my bushing or grimlins taping my block everytime i turn the wheel. Any suggestions??

why the hell would you buy brand new axels on a hunch? clicking only when turning a corner? CV joint. The shop should have noticed that when replacing the axels. Jack the car up and look for leaking grease or tears in the CV boot.

yeah ummmm your uhhh flux copassitor is going bad causing little unicorns to bang holes in your exhaust pipe. so all and all i think you should change your transmission!
Are you lowered? What size wheels did you get? is it a screeking click or like a click when people get sometimes when they turn there wheel too much?

because...if the shop is shady enough to sell him new axels when he only needed new CV joints/boots, then the shop is shady enough to not actually install the axels that he purchased. then when he comes back, they can sell him aditional things that he doesn't need.
