I just put 800 km on the 4 door gtst and nearly the whole time it was ticking when going above 60.

still is doing it. I thought the front plastics we rubbing the tire but i am certain they are not. My next thought was brakes so i plan on replacing the rotors and pads as they are pretty damn bad right now.

Anyone have any other suggestions.

i'm pretty certain its coming from the rear, hopefully when i do the rear rotors and pads this week it finally goes away.

I know it sounds silly, but check the tread for stones stuck in there. I've had people come into work with the same complaints and had random shit stuck in their tread.

going to dragon humpers in a few minutes here and we will be doing the rear brakes.
Hopefully that solves the issue. i have no tread on the back for stones to get caught in, i don't think anyways will look again.

that does sound silly but it is true, people are idiots.

i dont think its what's causing his tick though as he has zero tread for rocks to get stuck in lol

yeah its not brakes or rotors, even though they were in terrible shape.
not tires unless no tread makes noises.

im thinking drivers side rear wheel bearing now

spin it up in the air and listen with a mechanics stethescope. It makes it super obvious if you have a crunchy wheel bearing.

Changed the tires and the tick went away? Nice!!!!

At least you didn't go through the whole "change out the wheel brg and pull your hair out because the tick's still there".
