dang mav.. just cant keep it happy

driving today to school and i here what seems to be like when something is hitting the radiator
sounds like tikatickatickaticka and then it stops..... and then again tickatickaticka... ONLY IN MOTION

so any ideas??? i know its not the fan hitting the radiator... nothing looks loose.. radiator is not damaged (to an extent)

thanks

 

Are you sure its coming from the engine compartment? something stuck in a tire or loose brake component?

 

Gremlins. I hear they have been attacking all up and down the east coast. I guess they are migrating west now...

 

im telling you it sounds exactly like something is hitting the radiator

i dont know...

 

Look in the rearview Maybe theres a guy with a sticky lifter behind you. I had a 69 Mustang that tickatickaticked then jinglejingled figured out what it was just as the front end of the car jumped up 3 feet in the air and squirted the the drivers side tire about 100yds into oncoming traffic. Last time I let the guys at walmart rotate the tires. Youd probably have to invite us all over for a ride. KP

 

Exhuast leak?

 

I had that problem with my Ranchero, It was the muffler touching the driveshaft when braking hard or turning to hard one dierection!

 

that actually did come to mind when i was driving it lol

 

Have you tried revving the engine from under the hood yet??? try it and see what you find.Could be an exhaust leak...could be a loose rocker...could be the fan hitting the shroud(if you have one)Or loose brake parts in one of the drums...Hard to say from here...Good luck!!!
