Weird clicking/hitting noise front right side
i've heard about the notorious lifter tick but i'm pretty sure its not that, it almost sounds like a stick hitting my front right wheel, as i go faster it gets faster and slower it gets slower, i know its not the motor because i parked it in my garage and gave it some life revs and it wasnt making the sound. it happens like 80% of the time while driving, most other people that ride with me dont notice it too much but it bugs the crap outta me haha, i tried to look to see if anything was in the way but i didnt see anything, probably going to jack the car up tomorrow after work to see if i can diagnose anything, until then, does anybody have any ideas or anything that it might be?

if its speed related, but not related to the engine engaged to the transmission or the engine speed, then its likely something physically hitting and or spinning with the wheel.
Wheel bearings tend to make clicking noises, so that is a possibility. Other things include rocks or pebbles stuck between the dust shield and the rotor, or the rotor and hub, etc. etc. (i have had the last case happen before).

i found the problem dudes! whoever put brakes on the car last put the wrong type,the brake pad has a about an centimeter or two of gap so it just gos up and down and up and down, right around 20-30ish miles an hour. just gonna wait till i need new ones though because they are practically brand new

Your cheapness does not justify manslaughter - and there is a difference between "cheapness" and "frugality".

it is not both sides, just the front right, thanks for the constructive criticism and advice though, not so much for the smartasses. i didnt know having the wrong brakes could instantly make me a murderer, i should definitely be more careful, no seriously though i'll get new brakes asap. i <3 trolls
