Clicking sound on light bumps??
I'm sure that this will be impossible to diagnose completely without seeing the car in person but I would like some suggestions on where to start looking. I have a clicking sound which seems to originate from the front right suspension. It doesn't react to braking. I only hear the sound when I am on a slightly rough road. It doesn't make a sound when the car is stopped and idling. I tried to duplicate the sound by pushing down on the fender to compress the suspension but it wont make a sound in that setting either. I also just checked all of the bushings in the front end. All of them looked great but I sprayed them with silicone spray anyways, reassembled the car to take a test drive and low and behold the wretched sound is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions? Keep in mind that my car is a completely stock 99 Camaro SS with 87000 miles and the shocks aren't leaking a bit.

Thats the strange part. It wont do it on large bumps. I have a rolled curb driveway and it doesn't make a sound when I hit that. If I'm driving down a slightly rough road I'll hear it the whole time though.
