i have an 01 tiburon and i dont know what it is, when i drive there is a clicking sound that comes from the front passanger wheel, it DOESNT happen only when i turn for anyone who would think it was a cvjoint and i got the wheel bering replaced at a shop b/c they said that was the noise and then claimed that it would stop when i replaced the rotors b/c they said when the bearing was broken it wore a groove in the rotor which is causing it to click, plus my rotors were shot, well i replaced my rotors and guess what its still clicking does anyone know what this could be, should i go to the shop and explain to them that it didnt stop and get them to fix it 4 free b/c they said that it would stop and it didnt. can i do that?if anyone has any info please let me know

yes. you went to that shop for a specific reason. to stop the clicking. the fact that they didn't fix it means they didn't solve your problem. a REPUTABLE shop would fix it since they didn't solve your problem

either you are low on oil, or its the common HLA problem. Actually, I think agarwal said it was something else in a certain thread...cant remember what he said though? but pretty much everyone's tib does this. Try searching, this question has been asked many many times.

it has nothing to do with the lifters it only comes from the pass side front wheel and ive jacked it up and spun the wheel (wish i had a lsd lol) and it makes the noise but slower then when im driving then i took the wheel off to see if anything was in the way and nothing was, still made the noise with the wheel off

With the car jacked up and the wheel off, does it still make the noise with the wheel turned all the way in either direction?? Does the tone or pitch change at all? If so then I would have to say it is your cv joint.

Check to see if there are any interferences with your axle shaft, and make sure there is nothing possibly coming in contact with the vent slots in the middle of the rotor contact areas.

While they had that everything apart to put the bearing in did you ask them to look at the CV joint? It'd be pretty easy to tell if it was beat up, or the boot was torn, etc...that's the only thing I can think of. Do you get any vibrations or weird things happen at highway speeds?

i used to get vibes above 60 but its only sometimes and it hasnt happened in a while and i didnt ask them b/c they told me it was the bearing so i trusted the shop, i know them for years and they actually sold me my first car(94 eclipse 1.8 sohc worst car ever, really slow and broke like twice a day) so i hope that they are fair with this

I have the same problem with my Elantra. I'd love to know what the hell the problem is...
