I have this left front clicking when turning at full lock and have suspected the CV to be bad and recently installed a tire pressure monitor that shows the same wheel to be hotter than the others.

Is this tire hotter because of the exhaust being routed that way?

Is this just another sign? Excuse the pine pollen dust. The tires all go from 36 psi cold to 39psi hot but that front left is hotter and goes to 41psi.

 

Sounds more like a brake issue, caliper sticking or a hose collapsed. Perhaps the clicking isn't from the CV joint. Have you checked the lug nuts for tightness?
A CV joint is basically a universal joint. Can't imagine it generating that much heat without failure. Except for corners, it could be running quite cool, even if defective.

 

Thanks I'll check out the caliper and brake lines.

 

To check for a collapsed hose, back off the bleeder screw. If there is a release of pressure, then something is happening in the hose to prevent a pressure release when the brakes aren't applied.

 

Upon my return home I jumped under there and released the bleeder and nothing happened..
I pulled a wheel and it seems free.

It is a newer wheel bearing about 1 year since replaced.

In a parking garage where you can hear everything, in a full lock turn I get an "occasional" tick. Being new to FWD I asked my tire shop to have a look at everything and they said it all seemed fine. The lead mech said he has seen sticking calipers sound off like that.

I think I'll spring for a caliper and hose and see if it fixes.

Funny, if not for the tire pressure monitoring temp read out I would be obliviously happy. Its only a 10 degree thing but it bugs me.

 

Is the wheel actually hotter to the touch (rim or disk). Perhaps sensor is wacky. Any posibility of moisture in the tire? What do you use for inflation? Compressor tanks need to be drained of water with use.

 

Thanks, New tires and wheels at a tire shop using air. I doubt there is any water.
The sensor reads the same at ambient and climbs along with the other three and then goes about 10lbs more. The tire pressure is also a tad higher on that wheel too.

When lay my hand on the wheel it feels a tad hotter.

I'm thinking a brake problem would be much hotter eh?

I am going to check the torque on that wheel bearing. Its a newish Timken and perhaps I got a tad tight?

I will also take the time while I'm in there to give the CV a good look. and change the brake line for hope of some good luck.

 

Mechanics tend to over torque wheel bearings (axle) because they use an impact wrench and don't bother checking the torque. Then the bearing lasts for about a year and starts causing problems. The torque should be around 186 ft. lbs. I believe. A sure way to mess up a wheel bearing is to over torque it with an impact wrench. The box the bearing came in will say to not use an impact wrench. Go figure.
