Default Wierd clicking sound from driver side

when driving straight, i notice a faint ticking sound coming from my driver side wheel.......

i can only hear it with my window down, and it is very faint.

i have modified:

Suspension Techniques 2.3" Lowering Springs
KYB GR-2 gas shocks
nuts, bolts, and washers camber kit

i dunno is it a rock stuck in my wheel or is it something else?

CV joint or somethin?

check your tie rods. I think that was the cause of my ticking. Mine were worn so the rod could move up/down on the knuckle which I think was the clicking when driving.

the faint clicking for me ended up to be the wheel bearings. cheap parts, but expensive labor. how many miles is on your car?

there's a nail/screw in one of your tires. Check all four.

It's probably your CV Shaft/Boot. The clicking will only get worse, and eventually your car wont be drivable anymore, get it fixed ASAP.

I'd say the cv joint because that's the sound I got when mine were going out my wheel bearings made a bird chirping sound so I don't think that would be it but I could be wrong

It could very well be a rock or nail.
That used to happen to me quite a bit with my Scout, but havent had it happen on my Accord.
