Default STFA and cant pinpoint a clicking noise from the rear left. I thought

cv joint but i read it should only get worse with acceleration but i hear my noise at stops and going really slow. i can hear it click every time the wheel make one turn. read that wheel bearing wouldnt make a clicking noise? any ideas. I just put eibach coilovers on a little while ago.

Default I'm going with cv joint. Have you crawled under there to make sure something isn't....

sticking out and flapping on the chassis every revolution of the wheel? Also check to see if the cv boot is torn.

Default ive been under there, but i was checking for something loose, i

thought it was only when i hit bumps but i realized it came with the revolution of the wheel. The noise stops at higher speeds though?

Default That's ok. CV's don't always get worse at higher speeds. Sometimes the noise is...

so quickly repetitive and quiet that the road and engine noise drowns it out.

I would still recommend going under and checking things out (the boot and anything that could be flapping- I once had a sticker on a new axle peel part way off and flap against the CA every revolution of the wheel, you never know what could be going on).

Default Thats true, i was wondering if the noise got drained. I will check

later for a torn boot, but is there anything to check for if the cv is bad besides a torn boot and greese on the inside of my wheel?
