Default Frightening noise.. wtf?

Ive been noticing a weird noise coming from what seems like the front passenger side wheel well area. (Could be wrong) but it happens randomly, usually when im going like 2mph or sometimes it will happen while idling. I can't describe the sound, ithought it was my LT's rubbing, but thats def not it... any ideas?

Is it a clanging noise or a clunking noise or what kind of noise is it?

have you done anything in that area of your car recently that could contribute to the noise you are hearing? moved something? tightened something? adjusted something?

From the passenger side wheel well area? Im not even sure whats in that area that would make that noise. So it can happen when you are just sitting there idling? I am guessing there is a sound coming out from the engine that you are hearing through that wheel well.

did u look inside ur wheel well make sure nothing is rubbing on a tire or inside the rim...something could get stuck up in ur suspension and rub on something....had a stick lodged in my f150 front sway bar and spring and kinda did the same thing...

I tinted my corners, but i highly doubt its from that... well actually, i think the noise was there before i did that. So nope, i haven't!

Yeah. Its really weird. It sounds like something is "hesitant."

If your talking about a noise that sounds like two pices of metal grinding on each other and making an awful noise then it's probably your front control arm needs to be changed out for a new one!! I had a grinding noise when i would turn to the right and it was changed out at the dealership and the problem was gone!!!! Mine never did it at idle though only when turning right!!!!
