Help Weird Metallic Sound
 
I have a 08 G Coupe and my driver side front wheel has developed the tin metallic sound . It sounds like I ran over a tin can and is stuck to my tire . I can only hear it when I drive under 10 mph .. Nothing is broke loose or goofy . Will upload video later .. Any suggestions ?

lke whenever the car is rolling under 10mph it makes a metallic click? If it happens when you go over bumps and pot holes maybe shocks/springs or front end links something along those lines. Odds are its something holding the wheel together like suspension or something of that nature.

Is it a grinding noise? I had something like that happen -- might be a random screw in the road flew up and got caught in the brake shoe.

I've had a rock stuck in the brake pads that made a grinding noise. I also had a humming noise which was the bearing (wheel would shake side to side vertically). I've also had my front lower control arm ball joint and bushing break which caused a clunk noise on bumps only. I think yours could be something in the caliper or maybe a bearing.

I think I figured it out .. My TPMS sensors are banded to my inner wheel .. I believe the sensor has worked it's way out and is bouncing around and making the noises .. Will post video and tell me what u think ..

Lift the front wheel, And spin it by hand, And see if you hear the noise
