I'm hearing a strange clicking sound, like when you have a rock stuck in your tire tred, but noticibly louder. I hear it at all speeds. It is coming from my front drivers side tire area. Any ideas about what it could be?

if you have bugshield it is the windshield moldings flapping in the breeze. my dealer put on 2 sided tape and 80mph , no noise

It sounds like clicking?

Does it change speed as the vehicle changes speed?

Does it get louder at higher speeds?

It's only from the driver's side?

I'd try the windshield molding first, like aero said, or maybe you do have a pebble in your tire. ;)

Found it!

Turned out to be a wheel balancing weight mounted on the inside of my Weld rim. I'll have the wheel re-ballanced in a couple of weeks, and specify a lower profile wheel weight, when I go in to have my tires rotated.

It was driving me crazy!
