    Possibly bad Balljoints. Check them out, they do make noise when they go bad.

    interesting. ..i just noticed the same thing this morning in the parking deck.



    i played around a bit and found that the only time it happens is if i use the emergency brake. ...when i don't engage it, i don't hear the ticking when i take off.

    i also have a brake squeeling ..can't tell if it's the drivers front or rear ..i suspect the rear.

    Nope...but I wish it was that :D I think it's more along the lines of a worn suspension components or something...the ticking speeds up with acceleration...it's not constant though...goes away after a few seconds of driving...also does this on cornering as well..

    I had a strange tick tick noise also. Maybe diff. My problem was the U-Joint. I would check to see how much play you have in them.

    Checked my U Joints...No play whatsoever...could be a bad CV Joint...but I think that makes more of a clunk sound when it goes bad doesn't it :confused:
    It could also be worn out Ball Joints...or bushings...
