After Market Wheels Clicking

elundy · 02-03-2010, 09:58 PM

We have a 2005 clug car and the wheels click. We took it in to a repair shop for new tires and batteries and when we got it back, the clicking was gone...now the right front wheel is doing it again. I have been told that after market wheels are natorious for this.....True? What should I do?

Hey, did you try switching the front tire to the back and see if it still does it, if thats not it -- could be a wheel bearing---

Are the center caps tight? The ones I put on my cart didn't tighten up and caused a clicking.

a little double sided tape or a gasket should fix it( if it is a cap)

I heard of the center caps before...some tape did resolve the issue. Then it started again. So I removed them. This didnt resolve the problem. It used to be all 4 wheels, now it is only one. I will rotate the tires today and see how that works out.

Put rubber bands around the center caps and they will tighten in there. Some gateway caps come with o rings on them.

Just a thought, mine did that also and it really turned out to be rocks stuck in the tire tread. Maybe??????????

I went to the local Ace hardware and bought the rubber Orings that you put on a kitchen sink drain slipped those over the center caps and no more rattling noise.
