Default ticking sound in frotn suspension

when i turn at low speeds (sometimes) it's a light tick but it's driving me crazy. Sometimes it does it when I'm not turning, just using the gas or brake in a straight lie (at low speeds again), but it's usually with the turns. Sounds like its coming from the driver's sd. Any clues?

Exhaust leak, loose spark plug or wire.

I had an issue just like that. It was definitely a suspension tick. I could never figure out what it was so I took it to a shop. They couldn't replicate the sound so they tightened everything in the front and the noise stopped. They didn't charge me anything either.

We spent a good while tracking his down. If it's a distinct, tinny, metallic pop right down at the wheel, it's the hub.
