Clackity Clack-what's that noise?

[tejada2000]

I hear a clacking sound under what seems to be the drivers front tire, but I'm not finding anything loose. Anyone else have this problem? Annoying

Check if there's a rock stuck in the tread.

simple as it sounds, it's happened to me in the past. drove me nuts. i felt so stupid not to have checked it.

note: if there is a rock there, it will inevitably be directly under the tire whenever you stop. have someone slowly roll the vehicle and see ALL of the tread.

I hope it is a rock, the last 2 clickety clacks for me have been construction screws, 2 in 4 weeks!

That's why I mentioned it...happened to me, too! AT tires seem to be prone to catching rocks, especially when new.
