Howdy, On my ride home yesterday, I couldn't help but notice a new noise. I'm thinking carrier bearing.
Description:
Rapid clicking/card in spokes/clicking frog sound
Best heard from 10-40 mph or so while coasting in gear
Speed dependent
Only apparent for first mile or so of operation then gone
Apparently louder on outside than inside of car verified while coasting past building....could hear the sound reflection.
Sounds like coming from passenger side, cant tell front or rear.
Video sound gathering indicates coming from under console area
Recent activities:
Lots of donuts shredding old tires
New wheels and tires with 3mm spacers all around
Thats it.
Checked tire to strut clearance on front, tiny rub mark.....wouldn't make this noise either...probably wouldn't go away if it was caused by rubbing.
Checked all around wheels and BBK for any interference. Brakes are close, but not touching anywhere.....once again, probably wouldn't go away.
CHecked all around wheel wells and no interference anywhere
I'm leaning towards carrier bearing...noise is from worn bearings clicking around, probably dry, then quiets down as it heats up.
What do you think??

Edit: Extra ///M emblem on the dash gives me 20 more HP......ugh, more rice from PO. It currently looks better than the mess it leaves behind from removing. I do have a nice set of tech graphite trim sitting in my shop at home for a rainy day!
