Has anyone noticed a clicking sound when going over road bumps? it's really noticeable when going over a bridge that has road imperfections,the sound gets trapped down by the curb. I think it's the center caps on the wheels. Last time I washed the car and wiped the wheels off, I noticed that the caps are made of plastic and do not sit very tight in the center bore diameter. If this is the case,how do I "tighten" them up? I know someone will have the solution here, you guys(gals)seem to know just about everything about this car TIA.

you could try popping them out and putting felt tape on the prongs and the back edge. are you sure the noise isnt just normal suspension and road noise?

No I don't think it's road noise,because I only hear it when the road becomes rough.

might be bad cv joint?

Have you got all your marbles? Sometimes something rolling around in the trunk or somewhere will make a sound like this, or it could be something loose.

I don't think it can be the caps. If they were metal, possibly, but not plastic, especially with all the sound deadening insulation in the TL.
