Front end noise

Maybe someone knows what might be causing this, it started a few days ago and I have less than 1K on the odometer, it's coming from the Right Front and this occurs driving around for a while.

Sounds like some crappy country music. Check your lug nut torque, should be 140 lbft, I had mine clunking when turning slow speed and that was it.

I thought the music sounded good.

But I agree that lug nut torque would be my first check. In fact, I would jack up each wheel off the ground, loosen all lugnuts for that wheel and ensure the wheel is seated properly on the hub, and then torque to 140 lb/ft.

No need to bag on what I listen too thank you very much....lol, I always make sure the lug nuts are at 140 foot pounds and the wheels are seated properly, sounds like something is hitting the spring, I even checked out everything and no visible damage and nothing looks out of place. I can always put the stock wheels back on and see what it does, right now I have the APEX ARC-8's on.

Are you using aftermarket wheels? This happens to me also when I run 18" wheels. The wheel weights on the inside of the front wheels rub my brake ducts when I have a lot of steering lock.

Even if using stock wheels, suggest you crank the wheel all the way and visually inspect the wheel clearance to stuff in the wheel well while the car sits still.

I have APEX ARC-8's 19x10 et20 and I have checked for rubbing and nothing is rubbing, from a sit still I can move the steering wheel to the left and right 9 to 3 motion and I get that sound, I will put the stock set back on and see what it does.

Does it only happen when backing up?

It does it when backing in and it also did it when I was making a turn on to my road, it's more pronounced when backing in and of course when I am parked in my carport when I turn the wheel back and forth.

Have you checked the sway bar end links, the nut is known to get loose.
