Hyundai car making strange noise

You need to turn it up and listen close at the times I mentioned. It's a fast clicking noise. I know, there's a lot of normal noise (engine running, road sound, etc.) in front of it. It's easier to hear when you're really in the car than in the recording.

And it also doesn't always happen when changing gears, either. But sometimes it's been heard it at those times.

Could you be a dear and leave usenet for those who don't slap respondants' suggestions back in their faces? I can't tell you how much I hope the noise is hubcap creep.

I'm thinking it's a sticky caliper. Just did another set of rear discs on a GM with STUCK glides.

Anyone have a better lube for them? The stuff I'm using now is a silicone based grease made for the pins but it still doesn't last that long. The current method is to clean (or replace them if pitted) the pins. use a dowel to clean out the bores (a .30 caliber gun brush works REAL well) then solvent flush and air dry. Then a generous helping of lube and install the pins. Then a light coat of sealer inside the boot to lock it to the caliper mount and to the pin. I would think that water/air wouldn't be getting in there but I still get a couple that stick.

I got some black stuff in little clear plastic tubes; can't remember name...too lazy to dig through my *kit* but for giggles, couldn't you just squeeze some silver-colored anti-seize into the pin guides? The same stuff we use on spark plugs. Takes the heat, just can't say how long it would stay where it should. Then in 30 days or so, see if you still have play in the calipers...maybe use a screwdriver to test, but remember the pads need to be compressed first. So have to remove wheel and tire to do that. Just an idea if you've got the time.

That is important information you left out the first time. Doing diagnostics you follow certain paths of common problems. Noises when moving versus noises when standing are usually very different sources.

Given your mechanical abilities and aptitude, there is a fairly simple solution to the problem. Take the car to the dealer Monday morning. Trade it in on a new one.

"MasterBlaster" > "clicking" or "creaking" noise while driving it. I recorded a sample

Why do you think I'm just dismissing it? Rather I thought about it, and I weighed it in light of available evidence.

And what about ones that occur during both?

But now that I *have* given the information, what would you suspect now?

The internet can't help here. So far all I've gathered is there is a "clicking" sound sometimes. Maybe the dashboard is clicking when the sun hits it. Maybe this, maybe that. Or quite possibly this or that. Give up asking here and take it to somebody who can listen to it. What does your wife say about it? She might know. Every time my wife says "something's wrong with the car" I tell her she's crazy. Then a short time later I have to fix what was wrong. Still haven't figured that out.

I suspect you have no clue about cars. Buy a new one and it will be covered under warranty.

Rather obvious now, this Troll has caught a lot of us. I'm putting him in my plop bucket.

I don't know the specific setup you've got there, but if it's what I think it is, then the rubber boots may be fitting too loosely (old), or the grooves the boots sit in have corrosion in them.

On my car I've found Sil-Glyde to work the best for the pins, BUT it depends on the cleanliness of the boot grooves, and the tightness of the boots in those grooves. The rubber boots do expand with age, making them fit more loosely, allowing water in.

We don't have the money.

Why not tell me though what you would think, based on this new information? Or is it still not enough?

My intent though is not to troll this group. But you won't believe that, I guess. What exactly am I doing wrong?

Well I do know someone who is more knowledgeable with this but they were stumped. And we also took it to a mechanic at a car shop, they didn't know what it was either.

The "evidence" is that the sound also happens when the car is not moving but idling, as I mentioned in another post here. I'm not sure how a hubcap could cause that.

For the sake of MY sanity, this thread is killfiled. but before I go, lift the hood and see if you can narrow it down to a slipping alternator/acon/water pump belt.
