Why is there a clicking sound coming from my right front wheel?

Question

I have an 03 VW w/ manual trans. When I put the car in 1st gear and let off the clutch while hitting the gas a strange click click click click comes from the front right wheel and then stops when i let off the gas. This happens when i hit the gas in 2nd gear too but isnt as noticeable when the speed increases. It isnt real loud either. Thanks

Answer 1

Does it get loud or can you hear it when you turn left?  Could be you CV axle or bearing (bearing can sound almost like a helicopter taking off-a very quite helicopter-but bearings tend to increase in noise as you increase your speed.)

Answer 2

Check for pebbles/stones in tire treads.If a small stone is wedged in treads and protrudes enough,it can make a clicking sound every revolution.

Answer 3

An exhaust leak has similar symptoms also, but sounds more like suspension issues.
