Ticking sound coming from the "left front."
Got another one. I recently started hearing a ticking sound that seems to be related to speed. I say left front b/c when my window is down, thats' where it's at, which is obvious given I'm on the left side of the car. Anyway, it could be a stone or something in the tire, which I haven't been able to check yet, but I don't think so. It's tough to hear very well over there general engine noise and the whine of the supercharger, but it sounds VERY familiar to a sound I heard in my 96 Grand Prix 3.1. Someone told me once that just by listening he thought it could be lifters.
Anyone know/recognize the sound I'm describing and have any thoughts? If it is lifters, sticking or whatever, is that a huge issue?

Hi `Matt,
How many miles on your Monte ?
If it's a lifter sound, I would lift your hood,
and have someone inside giv'in it gas & U should be able
to hear it coming from the valve cover area of your engine.

Also run your hands over your tires (When Stopped : ) lol
to see if there is anything stuck in them.

Then have your wheel pulled to check brake assembly
to see if there's is wear, etc.

Great ideas guys! I do need to replace my brakes something awful - just waiting to get back to the ole' homestead to save some $$ and do it myself. I didn't think that it could be brake related too. I guess I just heard the sound and immediately thought of the old "problem" I had. I have about 53k on it (2005).
