Well yeah, but I thought the first check would be to feel if they're
loose.
If they don't feel loose... But I could still give it a try anyway.

Why is this such a problem Mike?

A buddy who knew nothing about cars called me one day and asked me
if he could come over to check what he called "a serious problem" with
his car. Think it was a late 70's Cutlass, with a 350. Nice car. He
insisted I take it on a Florida vacation once, and I did.
Said he was "embarrassed" when pulling up to a light and the noise
would make people look at him. Problem was week old.
He comes over and we get in the car. He pulls out and I can clearly
hear clanging in his right front. Has to be in the hubcap.
I tell him to pull over - we only went 10 feet, and popped the hubcap
and a lug nut with broken stud falls out.
Told him to take it to a tire shop and get the stud replaced.
He was glowing with happiness and thought I was a genius.
I didn't hear Mike's sound file, so I can't say.
Won't hurt to look.
But I've heard a million other car noises compared to one time
something was in a hubcap. Have heard noisy hubcaps though.
Usually fancy ones where something gets loose.

I know it might be something else, and probably is, but wouldn't you want to
try the easiest and cheapest fix first?

I said it wouldn't hurt. I listened to the sound file and didn't hear
anything really. So my advice is to provide a better sound file or
take it somebody who can figure it out.
Never heard a noise that can't be located pretty quickly.
For lower speed stuff running alongside the car can
help pin it down quick.
I like the recorder idea. Might tape it to different parts of the
suspension and the louder it gets the closer you are.
Or a good front end man and a rack might tell the tale real fast.
But I have absolutely no idea what the noise sounds like so I
can't recommend anything beyond what I said.

I suppose, but these hubcaps have big holes in them, so I'm not sure
how something
could get caught in there, move around a lot, and not come out.
Furthermore, there is
more reason to believe this is not a hubcap problem (and so this test
would just be a
waste): sometimes I've heard the sound when the car is not moving, but
idling. When
it happens while idling, there may be, though I'm not sure, a
correlation with putting it
into/out of gear, for example shifting to/from park. And it doesn't
happen constantly
when it's moving either, just episodically. When it occurs with the
shifting it's only like
I think 1, 2, maybe 3 clicks (but they sound just the same and have
the same
frequency.).

You need to turn it up and listen close at the times I mentioned. It's
a
fast clicking noise. I know, there's a lot of normal noise (engine
running,
road sound, etc.) in front of it. It's easier to hear when you're
really in the
car than in the recording.

And it also doesn't always happen when changing gears, either. But
sometimes
it's been heard it at those times.

Could you be a dear and leave usenet for those who don't slap
respondants' suggestions back in their faces? I can't tell you how
much I hope the noise is hubcap creep.

I'm thinking it's a sticky caliper. Just did another set of rear discs
on a GM with STUCK glides.

Anyone have a better lube for them? The stuff I'm using now is a
silicone based grease made for the pins but it still doesn't last that long.
The current method is to clean (or replace them if pitted) the pins. use
a dowel to clean out the bores (a .30 caliber gun brush works REAL well)
then solvent flush and air dry. Then a generous helping of lube and
install the pins. Then a light coat of sealer inside the boot to lock it
to the caliper mount and to the pin. I would think that water/air
wouldn't be getting in there but I still get a couple that stick.

I got some black stuff in little clear plastic tubes; can't remember
name...too lazy to dig through my *kit* but for giggles, couldn't you
just squeeze some silver-colored anti-seize into the pin guides? The
same stuff we use on spark plugs. Takes the heat, just can't say how
long it would stay where it should. Then in 30 days or so, see if you
still have play in the calipers...maybe use a screwdriver to test, but
remember the pads need to be compressed first. So have to remove
wheel and tire to do that. Just an idea if you've got the time.

That is important information you left out the first time. Doing
diagnostics you follow certain paths of common problems. Noises when moving
versus noises when standing are usually very different sources.

Given your mechanical abilities and aptitude, there is a fairly simple
solution to the problem. Take the car to the dealer Monday morning. Trade
it in on a new one.
