Clicking Noise from wheels.

Hi fellow Tundra owners, I'm new here and have benefited many times from the posts. I figured it was time to sign up and give back.

So I have a 2015, 1794 edition with the factory 20" chrome wheels. Now that nice weather is here in Canada I have been driving with windows open and could hear this annoying click at low and moderate speed. But not when turning the wheels. I found the issue today. The plastic cover that covers the lug nuts. Inside of it you will see a piece of spring steel that helps snap it into place. Where the spring steel clips into the cover (5 spots) mine was rubbing here and making a clicking sound. I coated each spot with some sticky silicone brake caliper grease. Presto.... annoying click is gone. I hope this helps if anyone if you have the same issue. Cheers !

 

Awesome. Thanks for posting.

 

Hey no problem. It's these kind of things that drive me crazy and then I am like a dog on a bone to solve it.

 

I cured mine of a similar sound by removing my studded snow tires.

 

You must have good hearing! Nice fix!

 

Some people just stick cards in their spokes.

 

Ha ha true that. I'm still having trouble keeping the clothes pin and card on the caliper to get the right effect. I'll just keep working on it.

 

Beat me to it
