Clicking noise...

Mods:
Tein Basics
SPC A-Arms (w/out spacers)
Ichiba 15mm spacers w/ extended studs

I just hit 22k miles yesterday. I just recently (last week) started to hear a clicking noise and it appears to be coming from the front passenger area. I've confirmed that the clicking is coming from the front passenger area with 3 people. I searched "click" and "clicking," but all I could find is a TSB regarding the rear axle(s) clicking.

I'm reluctant to take it to the dealer with the above mentioned suspension mods. Any ideas? If not, then I will be looking for some stock wheels to roll on if/when I do decide to take it to the dealer.

Is it only when you turn or is it constant?

As far as I can tell, it only happens at slower speeds of up to ~15mph (just an approximation). I'll try to get a more accurate reading tomorrow. I was more focused on trying to isolate where the clicking is coming from.

It happens when I am going straight and turning.

is your car parked or in motion when you hear this "clicking" noise?

The car is in motion and the clicking happens when moving straight and turning at lower speeds as far as I can tell. But for all I know it could be clicking at higher speeds but I can't hear it because of wind noise or something.

It happens on flat/smooth roads.

I get what I thought is a "clicking" from the front passenger area when turning slowly, but when a tech took a ride with me to hear it, he said it was a "creak/rattle" and not a click and would be hard to fix w/out ripping apart the car. Dunno.
