HELP! Knocking/Clicking noise in the front

I have a similar problem to this, but its not so much creaking as it is "clicking" or "knocking" coming from my driver front wheelwell. I have an 05 X sedan. Lowered on z/coupe springs and usually have my coupe 19s on in the summer....just switched back to 17" stockers but still lowered.

Recently ive been hearing this noise usually when im reversing (clockwise turn of the steering wheel) out of my parking spot and turn the steering wheel all the way. This also happens when im going 5-10 mph and do some slight turning as well. Its not very consistent, happens here and there...Any ideas?

Is this struts issue? pillow ball? rack/pinion? Any ideas guys?

Same here. I think it may have something to do with the lower compression rods, my ball joints are torn.

A lot of people are having problems with the lower control/compression rods so check those to see if the ball joints are torn.

Also check your sway bar end links, these will be your best bet for the source of your sound.
