So a little history, all referring to passenger front tire, axle, lower control arm (lca) etc. last month I was driving and the lca ball joint snapped off and took the axle with it. So I replaced the axle and lca completely and everything was sound. Well last week I changed the tires and rims, went from 17" to 18". I put new rim caps on it and took the car for a drive just now for about 45 mins or so. I periodically stopped to double check all four tires lugs to make sure they were tight and the caps stayed on. Well about 30 min in as I was checking I noticed the passenger lugs were extremely hot along with the rims center portion, like I couldn't keep my finger on the lugs for more than a second. So I decided to head home, I took a few right turns sharp at 30-35 mph and would hear a clunking noise from the F pass wheel. Well I got the car home and double checked the F pass tire and it was making a ticking sound, you can hear it in the video below. Also I was pressing down on the fender and heard some squeaking, I am guessing struts.
My questions are,
Should I be concerned with this clunking noise?
The excess heat on lugs and rim?
I know everything is tight so I can’t figure out what it could be, any advice off hand that someone would know that is causing this?
