Unhappy Make the ticking STOP!

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4XevzGF808

so the other day i noticed a ticking noise coming from the left front wheel while rolling straight into my garage.

i jacked up the car and inspected my cv boots for tears, leaks and everything looked good

then i proceeded to grab the wheel and pull on it to see if it might be a wheel bearing... and got nothing

could this still be a bad Axle joint even tho the CV boots arent torn?

i bet you have a nail in your tire. I don't really know, but I heard a ticking sound once and it ended up being a nail.

I WISH i did but NO NAIL OR ROCK! i have pulled the wheel off 4 times and put it in the air trying to figure out were its coming from

when its in the air i can't get it to make a sound... Only happens when its rolling

and i have no tears in the CV BOOT or grease leaking/stains

The only other thing would be maybe a wheel bearing.

Problem SOLVED

A while back i had the wheel removed to repair a flat at a local shop and when removing the wheel the impact gun snapped 2 studs off and where replaced

Well it seems that the new studs where never pressed in all the way and as it got hot while driving the studs would move in more causing the lugs to become loose.

I was using a torque wrench when remounting the wheels so everything seemed snug but with the studs unseated it did no good.

The more you know :rainbow:
