Clicking From Passenger Side Rear Wheel

SE MX-3 · Post by **SE MX-3** » December 5th, 2005, 2:58 pm

I have a clicking noise coming from my passenger side rear wheel. The click seems to rise and fall with speed. Is it the bearing that needs to be replaced? How long should this take to fix, and are any special tools needed?

The rear bearings are replaced with a whole new hub assembly, while the fronts u reuse the hub and have the bearing pressed out

normally when a bearing is gone its more of a whuuuurrring noise, not clicking

what about when you go over bumps? is there any pronounced noises ?

REAR is not an axle.
I'd also check that the brake clips aren't hitting the wheel. I had that happen to me once where one broke and was flapping like a playing card in a bicycle wheel.

I did just change the rear pads, so I'll take a look today and make sure the clips aren't hitting the wheel. The sound is like a squeaky click. I didn't notice anything when going over bumps, but I'll pay close attention today and let you know.

check your tyres, it could be that you've picked up a screw or even just a rock in the tread.

...always look for the simplest fix first
