Hi all, I just encounter a weird clicking noise from my front passenger side yesterday. My car just had wheel alignment from the dealer on May 12 before I used her to my 1,200 miles road trip. Yesterday coming home I heard some clicking noise only at slow speed (5mph or so) I usually park my car in my garage facing front so when I back up turning my steering left to right I can hear the clicking noise. I know its not my brake pads because I don't hear it when applying brakes. I jack my car to look underneath and everything seems fine. This morning I drove my car for about 4 miles i did not hear the noise until im close to my place. So im guesing the noise occur when the car already run a good strecth of miles. Tomorrow im bringing her to the dealer to pin point where the noise is coming.....Any suggestion what it could be?

 

No noise
Dealer alignment
noise

Just betting it's probably something they did. Something probably loose. Not something likely to be diagnosed over the internet. Any number of things (being loose) could cause a sound.

 

I just received a phone call from the dealer and they told me all joints are proplerly torque. They suspect the noise is coming from the bearing. They replaced the front and rear passenger side and it cost $950. ( I only pay my deductible)

***For everyone who have AFS****

I just noticed something that kinda odd while i was entering the dealership this morning. When my headlights turn on, I noticed my passenger side headlights is the only one moving when I turn my steering. I request for them to check on it also and they stated that "The driver side headlights only turns when the car is moving 15mph only" is that true? because i remember all of them turns the same time even if im not moving.

*** Disregard the AFS already search and found my answer. I just probably didn't noticed it before..******

 

You really need to learn to record your dealership conversations!!! Think about that one!?!

 

How much was your deductible? $950 sounds like a lot of money for two wheel bearing hubs...Infiniti parts for the front hubs are only $160 each.

Anyways, the OEM wheel hubs ARE known to prematurely go bad on here. I've seen quite a few threads regarding this. Mine were replaced free by the dealer under powertrain warranty, but the next time they fail, I will go with Timken wheel hub bearings.

 

My deductible is $100 all the time. At first I was really skeptical to get Extended warranty, but now I would say I'm glad I got it. (after my head gasket leaked on me. I think im pretty much even on what i paid for.)

 

I wish I paid more for the extra warranty, but so far I have over 85k miles and no issues with anything after warranty ended.

Hopefully this continues for a long time.

 

Got my car today and while i was parking at my work place I still hear a little clicking noise.. I will try to record the sound and will post it here... I will wait for few more days if it get worse I will go to different stillership to take a look at it.

 

To sum up all of clicking noise the service rep and the mechanic finally went on the same page!! So the first time I took my car for the clicking noise, the Service rep stated on the note the wrong side were i here the clicking noise and the tech/mechanic change the bearing on the wrong side ( or vise versa ). So the good news they replace all 4 of my bearings for the price of $100 (my deductible) and get to chance to drive 2014 Q50 for 2 days!
