Wierd clicking sound......
I just noticed this today but when i jolt my steering wheel to the left when i am driving there is a clicking sound coming from the right side front tire.........i dun think its balljoints or whatever cuz it doesn't sound like that..but the wheel does only have 3 bolts on at the moment so i am thinking it may be the wheel moving which would be bad.......but then again when the car isn't moving and i really jerk on the wheel like shake the car from the wheel it also kinda makes the same sound faintly....the car is dumped on omni powers but i am not sure if its rubbing on the inside or if its something with the suspension..........it almost sounds more like a knock..but i dunno if anyone here could give me some better insight on this....=(

wheel bearing and or an axle.
if you can hear it kinda when your driveing straight then most likely a wheel bearing.
if you hear it only when you turn its axle, also not only if you hammer the wheel one way but any time you turn it in a specific direction.
check them both out.

its for the 97 coupe......
it sounds like it could be the axel, but is there any chance the wheel is moving a bit because of the one bolt missing? prolly not, but how about some of the suspension components? i know it never makes the sound when i am going straight and even when i turn at corners it doesn't make the sound but the second i start jerking the wheel to the left it kinda clicks on the right,.....

wheel bearing then cause i had that problem, also when you tap the gas does it click?
i just had this problem and it got worse as i let it pass over 1month and it got really bad . was my wheel bearing.
but before you buy anything make sure you know what it is thats wrong cause not worth buy stuff you dont need as it can get costly.

jack the car up, grab the right wheel where the noise is coming from, and shake the wheel side to side, top and bottom and on an angle, get someone else to look at the suspension components (ie ball joint, tie rods etc) if theres any movement.. there no good.
