Clicking noise from left front ONLY when turning right...

[StingertimeNC]

I can't understand how antiseize could help. Unless the wheel is moving on the hub which means it's not tight enough. Does everybody have the correct hub bore size?

I’m runnin the apex wheels in the DE5 specs. Torque to spec. No ides how anti seize would helps..

Crossing my finger; it's been one week and so far so good.

I am on Apex as well and I have been getting non-stop clicking since my Auto-X on Saturday and it's driving me crazy. It's now on low speed left and right turns, as well as very, very faint when going straight. A few quick stops seem to help for a bit, then it comes back. So it might just be stuff caught on rotors. I should probably rotate my tires after the event so will blow them out and see if it helps.

It sounds almost like I am hitting the fender liner but I don't see any wear or any issue.

This is all very strange. I just can't fathom how the wheels have anything to do with this. Other than the fact that the spokes of these wheels are getting sand blasted when I drive them. I have tons of tiny impacts on them. This may be things like sand and tiny pebbles being thrown around in the wheel wells. Offset and rim design may be to blame. If +45 offset rims cause issues, then I would think other wheels would do the same. Again, could be the exact design of the VS5- RS causing this though, but, nothing to do with the wheel mating to the hub properly.

This sounds similar to what I deal with. I haven't noticed the clicking in a while, but now it's Intermittent scraping noises that disappear as suddenly as they appear. It's tough to ignore but at the same time I can't duplicate it so there's no way to diagnose what tf is actually happening. I also know that if I took it into the dealer I'd get a wombo combo of disapproval/blame game for aftermarket parts and incompetence.

Also on that note, just noticed a few weeks ago that during their adventures trying to diagnose the "wastegate" noise I had to tell them about last fall, they left my traction control button unplugged, and when I went to remove the trim panel to plug it back in I found a plethora of broken clips.

Seriously, fuck those guys at this point.

Anyway, I did not notice these noises with the OEM wheels on during the winter... but also I wasn't paying attention and almost never had the windows down.

combo of the wheel design, and summer tires, causing excessive debris flying around. Nest step it to remove the heat shield from behind the rotors.

I can't wait to see the noises I get when I run 200TW LOL.

Update. Just got back from a spirited b road 130 mile loop with the anti seizes trick. Seems to be working. Just a few miles on my way out of town came up on a modded STI, once we got free of traffic we did a few roll races.. ended up pretty well matched he got one I got one. A wave then I kept on my way. Love this damn car!

That's good to hear- but what exactly did you use anti-seize on?

I love mine too. Almost exactly 2 years now since the ITS was revealed, and I still love it. It's outlived the following cars in my history (i.e., at this point in their respective lifecycle I had already moved on to different cars):

- 2015 STI
- 2017 911 Carrera S
- 2019 718 Boxster GTS
- 2021 RS5 Sportback
- 2023 718 Boxster GTS 4.0

Still going strong, despite the weird noises.

Yea I’m just few 100 miles from 10k be 2 years late July.
I put and even cost of anti seize on this part of the apex wheels (the mating surface). Picture is back of the oe wheel

Sorry to sidetrack a bit, but semi-related. Anyone noticing air loss on their front Apexs? I know there are known concerns with the OEM tire seal. I have noticed at 2 seperate Auto-X events my front tires will have dropped 2-3 psi cold pressure afterward. Rear are fine. No air loss under any other circumstances, just hard driving for Auto-X.

I had a problem with the Pilot S4S originally, but switched to Continental and no issues. Supposedly Apex has adjusted their wheel design to account for Michelin tires now though.

I screw with my air pressure too much to consider it reliable data. But FWIW I saw the same thing after my last AX event last Saturday; I thought I set them to 35 after the event but I had to add a couple psi today because they were low. Just the fronts.

It is also unseasonably cool the last few days to there's that too.

Overall not a big deal and most likely attributed to setting them when they were still warm.
