I've been hearing a ticking noise coming from the left side of my car when I'm in it, but it wasn't too bad so I always just brushed it off. Well yesterday, I got around to the left wheel and it is kind of loud. It's just a *tickticktickticktickticktickticktick* noise. Very constant. It speeds up when I accelerate.

It sounds like it's coming from around where the gas tank is maybe? I'm not sure. It does it when I'm stopped, so I guess it's nothing to do with the suspension or wheel.

Any thoughts?

I'm sure somebody has to have had this happen to their car?

it does it when I'm at a dead stop though. I think it may have something to do with the fuel system? :thinking: I honestly have no clue right now. it's weird.

Are you sure it's coming from behind? J-series motors seem to always tick somewhat loudly.

Yeah it's definitely coming from the back left. It caught my attention when I was walking from my drivers side to my trunk, so I stuck my head down, kinda to get my ear into the wheel well, and it was really loud. What the heck is even back there that would make a ticking noise?

Oh my bad, I didn't read it clear enough. But idk what can be the problem if its constantly ticking from the rear even from a stop..

Can't think of anything moving at the back end when standing at idle that would cause a ticking noise. :thinking:
