annoying noise in front passenger wheel well

[tybardy]

I have had this GD noise for nearly a year. When i took my truck into the shop they found nothing. I just pulled the wheel off myself this morning to try and locate ANYTHING that might be wrong in there. I found nothing.

I will say that i dont really know shit about what i am looking at but i wasnt able to spot anything glaringly obvious.

let me try to explain the noise.

It can be heard from the outside of the truck only. It is a steady clicking or tapping noise that speeds up when the truck speeds up. its like something that is making a single noise once for every revolution.

what the hell is wrong and what can i do about it?!?!?!?

Nail in your tire?

Had that happen with my last car. It drove me crazy forever until I found the nail one day and plugged it, then the noise was no more.

nope... just had me tires ballanced and rotated not long ago and they checked for road damage. its for sure coming for the "suspension" area

I thought mine was coming from the rotors and had the tires off and spun everything and couldn't find it. It wasn't until I rotated the tires that the noise went away and then I found the nail.

I've also had a loose wheel weight cause a clicking sound as well.
