Tire rattle?

[cwadle]

I can't quite narrow down the exact source of the noise, but I figured maybe some of you might have. It seems at decent speeds 30+ I have a distinct clicking sounds consistently from the outside of the car. I assumed it has something to do with the suspension system or maybe a contaminated break pad, But I haven't found anything yet. Hopefully you guys have ideas?

That sounds like a tiny rock is wedged in between your tire threads.

If you're not used to having AT tires you might not recognize the little annoyance of rocks in the treads. I find that the KO2s in particular tend to pick up little rocks and not let them go. You either learn to ignore it or walk around picking little rocks out of the treads all the time.

I never thought about that, this is my first car with all terrain tires. I will check my tread tonight, hopefully that solves the problem. Thanks !

Open back, lift up cover that covers jack. Mine was loose when I bought it. I simply turned the mechanism to tighten the jack within the space. Problem gone. Now jack gone anyway

Found the little thing stuck in my tread, worn down to a flat surface. Must have been it. Mostly just glad to see there is no mechanical issue.
