Tick tick tick, during hard right corner
Lately I have been noticing a continuous tick tick tick noise coming from the drivers side rear wheel area when i am doing hard right cornering. be it on the accelerator or off, the noise is still present about 90 percent of the time. Sometimes the noise totally disappears and I think Im losing my mind but then I take another right and sure enough tick tick tick tick tick......
my car is lowered on koni/gc with volk ce28s if this has anything to do with it. i dont think its the wheel rubbing. this sounds more like a continuous "click" while the wheel is turned and the car is moving.
any ideas? a bad wheel bearing?

mine does the same thing and i think it is the driver side axle. I hear it from dead stop starts, when i down shift i hear it at times. and when i turn i hear it and when i reverse i hear it. It doesnt happen all the time like he said but its there. How much is it for an axle?

after a little more searching on the topic, I found that I may need to re tighten my axle nuts to 220 ftlb..... i hope this will work.
now i need to locate the 36mm socket and a decent torque wrench

Axle nut 
You have to unstake the nut and remove it first. Put some WD40 on the threads, and a thin coat of wheel bearing grease on the face of the nut where it contacts the hub.
Once you torque it to 220, you'll find it has moved between an 1/8 and a 1/4 turn past the old stake mark.
I would definitely retorque the wheels as well. Aftermarket rims are famous for loosing torque, till they have been tightened a few times.
You used tuner lugs with the Volks, yes?

ok i replaced the axle nut on the drivers side rear, torqued to 220 ftlbs as per billmans instructions and the sound is gone!
i bought another axle nut for the passenger side, although i havent put it on yet. is it necessary since the noise is gone?
