    cheers , i was thinking either CV joint , wheel bearing or diff gears , is it normal in the VX , LSD diffs to only spin the left hand wheel when doing a stop start skid in a straight line ? ,The clicking noise in the rear left wheel only happens when turning a right hand corner only , and under slight power , has been happening for about 2 months now but dissapered for about 3 weeks ?

    I wouldnt have drove around on it that long mate, cant be anything good.. I have a noise coming from the front left wheel of my VXSS that has only started in the last few days. Its not really a click sound but more of a 'DOUM DOUM' noise sometimes when i go over a bump in the road.

    Hope its not CV joint because that can be expensive... if anyone looking at this thread might have an idea let me know.

    Nice one

    It's not the plastic trim in the wheel arc is it? Mind came loose on the front, was a clicking or tapyty sound.

    If it's from the front going over a bump, it's either strut top mount and or bearing, or sway bar link pin which you can see next to suspension strut

    check your wheel weights are still nice and tight on there. I had a tick that was anooying the bejesus out of me and found it was one of the wheel weights. quick scrunch with pliers fixed it right up.
