    Default clicking in rear axle, 2008 RS

    I've developed a "clicking sound" in my rear axle area on the right side. I cannot find where this is coming from. It is not from a rock in my thread but rather a sound I cannot determine. It's not a rock in my belt either. this only occurs in the forward movement of the Spyder and not in reverse. Please let me know before I take it to the dealer that will charge me $$$ only to let me know it isn't anything.

    Default Little checking..

    Not knowing the mileage etc you should start with the rear wheel bearings, brake pads caliper etc.

    Check your fender brackets down next to the rear fender for cracks in the steel.

    I've started to notice the clicking also. The noise seems to be on the right hand side coming from the hub, brake caliper area.
