Loud Clicking Noise from RHF Wheel (Resolved)

[Immortality]

When did you fit AWD?

Not sure about your Brembos but stock SS calipers you have to remove the caliper to check the inner pad.

Gen-F2 GTS uses AP Racing calipers/pads not Brembos. Nevertheless, you are correct, in that it doesn't seem to be possible to view the inner pad without first removing the caliper. It's probably a moot point anyway. I had a good look at the spare pad set that I have and it appears that only the outer pad has the wear indicator (squealer?) so that's not the reason for the clicking noise. I had a good inspection of the wheel/hub area today and everything was nice, clean and new looking. Might have to resort to the WUIGRB resolution technique (Wait Until It Gets Really Bad).

Sorry, losh1971, meant to quote Phillbo not you.

Sorry, don't understand how AWD (All Wheel Drive?) came into the thread.

I'd think you would have to be very unlucky to be a wheel bearing problem.

Can I raise my hand as another member of the “don’t get it” club?
Best I could come-up with was some cars with driven front wheels having a propensity for wearing through front CV joints which then make clicky-clicky sounds …

Not something stupid like a pebble or alikes stuck in the tread?

And yes clutching at straws with this response

^ If I may clutch similarly at straws … the centre-caps are tight, are they?
My OEM Volvo centre-caps don’t fit my 90’s-spec Simmons wheels perfectly, meaning that on very slight bends they make clicky-clicky sounds.

Ah yes - the sound heralding the approach of a student owned Austin/Morris 1100 back in the day.
BTW - I'm with @vc commodore with the "something stuck in the tyre" possibility.

Changed my brakes and got a tiny stone caught between rotor and dust shield on the inside without me realising. What. a. pain. Didnt make noise when not driving, even if you jacked up and turned the wheel - couldn't hear it.
Might be worth checking - but the clicking? strange sound to be that

Yep unfortunately

I had this emerge on my old lowered 2013 VF SS , right hand front wheel when turning but was intermittent

Had Pedder's go over it and also asked local Holden dealer to take a look during the routine service but it never got identified unfortunately

Long shot but apparently there was a recall for VF's for retorquing ball joint nuts or something but ive not seen anything mentioned other than here
