Clicking noise, cannot figure oout

Hello gang, My 378 has a click,click,click outside sounds like the wheel, the faster I go the the faster the clicking noise goes. Real annoying, checked inside rims, nothing? I am bewildered!

Check the tire for a nail. Had the clicking noise once and it turned out to be a a screw in the tire.

If it's the center cap take it off put some silicone on the part of the wheel where it attaches.

Same problem. I FOUND ONE OF THE FOUR NUTS HOLDING THE WHEEL ON HAD FALLEN INTO THE BRAKE DRUM AND IT CREATED PLENTY OF NOISE.

Do you have squirrels in your neighborhood?
I have a grunch of them around the house in the woods. One of the little boogers stashed a black walnut inside the alloy wheel of my Honda Element.
Ting a dee ting ting we went out of the neighborhood.
Pulled over and found the black walnut between the wheel and rattling against the brake disk. Removed the walnut, no more noise.
I guess Mr Squirrel is still looking for that thing...

I have had three RV's with the decorative hub caps and they all clicked when rolling slowly. I think it is the flexing of the rims against the thin sheet metal of the hub caps though I never took them off to see if it goes away.

Mine was making a similar clicking on front passenger side. Not real loud but wife complained. Checked the wheel cover and one of the false wheel nuts was loose. Twisted it off and replaced it with a threaded one and noise went away. There are four threaded nuts that hold wheel cover on. I ordered two threaded ones so I would have a spare.

Where were you able to find the threaded nuts truck stop? Mine are held on with only two so I might add one or two to each side in the front. Dam clicking!!!

I had to go to Lazy Days and have them order them for me. Tried truck stops and truck specialty shops but the FR nuts are a unique size.
