Default few a4 questions

Hey i have a few questions...

First, when I am driving i hear a clicking noise about every revolution of the wheels, sounds like its from the front right side of the car...any ideas what this is?
Also, Im looking to replace the speakers in the car, its a 99.5 with the audi concert system, any reccomendations on replacements?
Finally, I want to have the car re-painted...anyone ever have this done anywhere in CT or that area with positive results? Thanks

If it is a pretty quiet clicking noise, check to see if you have a rock stuck in one of the tires.

no its definitely not that...sounds like it coming from the axle or something, like a click/creak that is worse on turns

My good friend works at Cotalings Autobody. It's right off of I-95 in Norwalk. You'll have to look up the number but ask for Jim Tatroe. He's their main guy and they do great work. They do all "high-end" repairs for very expensive cars and for Dealers too.

I don't know what they'll quote you. It'll surely depend on any body repairs that you may want or need. It probably won't be cheap but it will be top quality.

If you call make sure that you tell Jim that Russ Nagy from Illinois referred you.

Is is a mechanical or tapping sound? Does it change with your speed? Does it change with rpm?

the best way i can describe it is it sounds as if there is someone knocking on my front passenger side, i can only hear it at low speeds but it seems to happen with a pattern, its not just a random noise

If you call Jim at Cotalings he should be able to help you with the noise too. He's one hell of a mechanic - 30 years experience. If I hadn't moved to Illinois, no one else would touch my cars!
