Loud knocking noise
i have this annoying constant knocking, its pretty loud from my driver side wheel. However it doesnt knock if I brake. Im thinking a pad is loose or something. Can anyone else give me some insight on this

its not loose lugnuts
It doesnt do it stationary and only does it when the car is vibrating, if im accelerating and the car isnt vibrating the knock doesnt occur. And it doesnt occur when im braking either. This is on a 91 Talon TSi

like i said... watch yourself bro... same exact thing i had with mine. yea my lugnutz may not have been too tight... but i did go out and shake the ever living shiat out of the wheel and it didnt move. i am convinced my CV joint went out or something and it just ripped the wheel off! but just take every precaution you can bro cuz u never kno what could happen.

yes. also it went away when I accelerated and when I made a right turn.
I felt really stupid when my dad went to take the wheel off to see what's going on and saw that the lugs weren't tight.

Maybe it's the shims on the brake pads. I know that the Hyundai rear ones come loose often and make a metallic banging/knocking. Maybe not, but...... What happens when you turn, same noise?? What about hitting bumps/cracks in the road??
Nice to see you around Dweet.

doesnt do it when it turn in particularly, that would be a CV joint problem and more of a tick then a pounding.. sounds like a loud knock but i dont feel a wobble in the wheel
