This really has got me "ticked off".

When I turn right I get an odd ticking noise from the front passenger side wheel area. Its not loud and I only noticed it when the warmer weather came in and I had the window down.
I've checked the tyre treds for a stone or nail or something but they are all ok.
Now recently I have had the track rod end and the front pads replaced.
When I take the wheel off I can see nothing obviously wrong.

Any ideas?

Get a hold of the cup on the inner cv joint of the drive shaft and check for play .Just a little play could be too much .

I'll get the wheel back off tomorrow and let you know how I got on.

Thanks for help

you should be able to check with the wheel on .It might be better if you jack it up first .

Nah dont think its this mate. No play in the cv joint at all.

May have to take it to a garage. Kinda worried its a collapsed bearing or something.

you want to try the opposite one if you are turning right it is usually the left and if you are turning left it will be the right try inner and outer
