there is a ticking noise or like water runnning with strong current when
traveling at aprox 15 mph, if it goes slowering, it slowly dies down and if
you go faster it also slowy not heard prolly from the engine noise or it
dispapear by the frequency of it becoming to much as it start to sound as
one continues sound. i dunno, drives fine, and no warning light is coming
on. car has 103Kmiles on it. any idea what might this be?

Wheel bearings? Of course you've repacked them a couple times by now, right?

I agree with jim, repack your wheel bearings and see if you hear a
difference after.

Before you repack the wheel bearings, have a buddy drive your PF by at 15
MPH and
see if you can tell where it's coming from.

thanks for the help guys

when i did the tire rotation i saw that my front right side which aspears to
ne hub that contains the wheel bearing is leaking the lubrication which
might suggest damage.
