I'm noticing a clicking/ticking sound coming from the front end, (sounds like maybe from the right side) under acceleration at low speed. The noise is also present when coming to a stop. It seems to be worse when turning under acceleration. At higher speeds the noise goes away. (Will generally stop once I hit 15mph or so)
The noise is not present when the car is cold. Takes about 15 minutes of driving before it becomes noticeable at all.
Car seems to be running well, no issues shifting.
Will try to provide more details as needed. [Reply]
Im thinking lifters. Dodge has a known problem with lifters between 75-100K. It will flatten the cam as well.
The system where it cuts out four of the cylinders to save fuel is actually very hard on the cam and lifters.
This happened to my truck, I replaced the motor and got a tuner that allows me to turn that feature off. Problem solved.

I've owned it for about 3 years and have driven it pretty gently.
There have been a few times I've put it through its paces, but it's not a regular thing. [Reply]
