Re: clicking noise from right front tire(96 windstar)

I have had 3 causes of a clicking sound on that same wheel on my '96.

1. The factory hub cap is doing that because at least one of the plastic clips that holds it in place is broken.

2. I had the dealership not correctly put the lug nuts on.....and one came off and was clicking inside the hub cap. As it came off in the winter, in Wisconsin, I did not hear it until I was on a trip out of state, and put the window down as I coasted into a toll booth.

3. Warped rotor from #2 as I did not know for a while. Each time the wheel rotated, the rotor bumped the inner brake pad, causing a clicking sound.
