What the **** Is this noise!!!!
So I have a 2010 gt and tonight I pulled out of my girlfriends driveway and she called me about 5 min later saying she heard a ticking noise so I pulled over into the Kroger parking lot and put my car in reverse, turned the wheels to the right and backed up and I heard a ticking noise coming from the front right tire! I have no clue what it is, it sounds like "tick...tick...tick" and the faster I back up the faster the ticking gets! Please help!!!

Had a similar noise driver front on my 2010 GT. checked every tire for rocks, nails or any other foreign matter in the tread before taking it to the dealer. They found a small amount of grease on the front wheel bearing cap. They replaced the bearing and the sound went away.

I would advise you to take the car to your dealer immediately and have him let all the air out of the tires and replace it with fresh air. Canadian air would be best, if he can get it. If imported air is unavailable, try to get air from the Ozark Mountains.

Yeah, the higher the elevation the better. The air is less dense at high altitude, which causes less rotational mass.

That is right up there with me years ago asking the line boy at an airport to go and grab a bucket of propwash! He left and finally came back and said the Manager told him they were out of it

This is total BS. The air should be replaced with helium.

Helium is an entirely acceptable substitute, but most drivers are unwilling to put up with that irritating high-pitched (like Mickey Mouse on crack) shriek when they break the tires loose on warm pavement. It doesn't seem to bother the Reaper, but I find it objectionable, myself.

And add some weight in the rear for better traction; I'd suggest bagging up all the bull$#!t we've laid down in this thread and tossing it in the trunk.
