    Default Clunking coming from wheel.

    Noticed a clunking noise coming from the front right wheel. At first it was barely noticable, but by the time I got home after 10mins of driving it was quite loud. The noise seems to increase in frequency as well as gets louder the faster I go, when the brake's are pressed it stop's and starts again shortly after removing my foot from the peddle.

    Car is an ADM ae86, Recently pulled the front end of my car apart (Last week) to replace balljoints/bushes, added xt130 LCA's and 30mm RCA's. Also unbolted the caliper and removed the brake pads from the same wheel when all this was done to inspect its condition. Was told the wheel bearings where done not too long before I bought the car.

    Any suggestions what might be causing this? About to go pull the wheel off and make sure everything is tight...

    loose wheel nuts. blown wheel bearing. buggered balljoint (not as likely).

    Loose caliper bracket or caliper maybe. maybe loose bolts where the rcas are bolted on? did you lock tight them or use spring washers?

    Maybe your shocks are bottoming out? Maybe your wheels are hitting something? Oh oh and when I put rx7 brakes and mini cooper rotors in mine ae71 with xt130 arms the end of the arm came VERY close to the disc?

    To be honest most of these aren't massively likely. I would bet on bearings myself

    Gland nut that holds the shock in could be loose too.
