Weird noise from passanger side??????help

re-cap a while ago i hit a huge pothole and bent a little portion of the inside of the wheel and a chunk of the tire came off........anyways i don't drive the car that much, so i'm going to get a new set of wheels/tires anyways....

anyways as i roll from stop to about 30mph i can hear a tick tick or click click noise from the right side passanger........at first i thought it was the wheel but i had the car on a lift this morning and didn't see anything......i didn;t have time to stick around or anything but what do you guys think it can be?

Alex, if you lift your car and rotate the wheel fast, eventually you'll see/hear it. I'll try to look for diagnostic table tomorrow (software is installed on machine at work), and if found, will post or email you.

Alex, there you got it. Even if the rotors are wraped, you should be able to spin the wheels (and rear if you have gear in N), since the caliber are design not to hold onto the disc.

For the front wheels, the only case you can't really spin the wheels freely is if you brake caliber stuck. Try to lift the car and modulate the brake a bit (with the engine off), if you can't still spin the wheel, then it's definitely the caliber

For the rear: either the caliber, or more often: parking brake stuck.

i have the c32 brakes......with less then 3-4 k of driving.....i can't really determine where the npise is coming from but it's the front right side.......
just hear a ticking noise and it becomes faster as i go faster but at higher speeds i don't really hear it but only when i reduce my speed down to 20mph down to a roll........
