    Question

    There's a clicking noise coming from my left front wheel when i'm driving 0-10mph. Slowly driving from a dead stop, I can hear a "click..click..click" sound, it clicks fast as I speed up until you can't hear it anymore around 20mph. I was thinking maybe its the bearings....what do you guys think? my car is lowered about 2" from stock.

    Sounds like a bad bearing to me. Are you sure there's nothing rubbing somewhere inside the fender well?

    If something is rubbing inside the fender well, it shouldn't be making that click click click sound.

    It does not click when I turn so I don't think its the CV boot. My car has 63K miles on it.

    Just a thought. I have not done the brakes on a Honda but I recently did them on my Toyota pickup and there was a "anti-clatter" W-shaped spring that was needed to be placed in between the brake pads. Without it I got the same symptoms as you have, except for it would do it no matter if I turned or not?

    Just a thought.

    No, it does not click went going forward to reverse. It just starts clicking as I accelerate. Click....click...click..click.click

    As for the "anti-clatter" W-shaped spring, I think I installed it when I changed my brake pads. I will double check this weekend.
