Need help!! Tapping noise when I go over 60km/h

Postby edge » Sun Feb 08, 2015 2:22 am

hi guys,

My car is a 92 model NA, what happened was when i go under 60km/h, it's completely normal, but when i go over 60km/h, there is starting to have some tapping noise coming from the rear, the tapping noise will increase it's tapping speed and louder as i increase the speed.

I've tried taking off my wheel as well as moving the components but its all seems fine, anyone had any experience like that before?

Cheers,

Surely there'd be a continuous grinding noise when you took off the wheel?
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)

nah it doesn't because the tapping/clicking noise only occur when i drive over 60km/h, basically i've tried to turn into corner really hard and sharp and it performed well and no wobbling or what so ever, just as soon as i hit 60km/h+ the noise starts to develop.

Likely one of the metal cable ties holding on a CV boot.

Could be a loose clip on wheel balancing weight too. Mine did the same a few years back.
