Ticking Noise Taking Left Corner Hard

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Hopefully wont get too ridiculed, but thought I would try my luck. Just came back from petrol station, took a left corner semi fast, then heard a quick rapid tick tick tick tick noise.

Tried another corner (turning right) but didn't notice the noise (10kmh slower though). Then did a series of left turns going slow (all had stop signs) no noise. Then took last corner (left) into my street and 3 quick tick sounds. Speed was 30ish I think...

Randomly going to Ford tomorrow for brake booster/master cylinder replacement...so guess I will ask them to test drive and see if it happens again. Will also take a few corners on the way tomorrow and see if it does it again during the day.

Thought I'd see if anyone had something similar? Could it be wheel bearings (or should noise be constant).

Will check tyres tomorrow morning to see if its gone flat (another thread said nail in tyre).

Cheers if you read this far and didnt just ignore the thread knowing who wrote this

Check the tyres for rocks / screws etc. they make annoying noises

Agree with that as a first check - I replaced pads recently then took it for a test drive. Had a ticking sound from one corner and was wondering what I had stuffed up! Tyre had picked up a bunch of stones at the bottom of my street.

Yeh moment of truth soon lol

I did feel around the tyres and in between tread for any obvious nails/junk but couldn't feel anything. They did look suspiciously low for some reason (haven't check tyre pressure since Ford last had it a few weeks ago)....but might have been my eyes playing tricks on me cause both right tyres looked kinda flat where the contact patch with the ground is.

Guess I'll know soon. Also camo I need to PM you re: torque figures for exhaust manifold/turbo/dump...cause you have that fancy book hey (my memories shocking but cant recall if I've asked you this already lol).

Thanks for the suggestion peeps. I'll see if it does it again this morning

Yeh thought the topic seemed rememberable

Thanks dude!!!!

Also couldn't replicate the noise this morning...so may have possibly been a fluke (or only happens at night/cool times). Its a Fraud atm, but knowing them, nothing will be found.

I'll just monitor to see if it ever happens again (and obviously update if Ford actually finds something).

Cheers!!!!

If anyone cared....Fraud came back with "cant hear anything"...they questioned wheel bearings, but that got replaced a month ago (2nd replacement so if it happens again I'll tell them OEM only - which is what the 1st time was supported to be).

Guess I'll just keep my ear out, and try and record somehow if it hapoens again.
