Default Help needed: Ticking sound from front suspension

I just got an alignment (whether that is significant or not remains to be seen), after which I noticed a ticking sound coming from my front suspension when it is under significant cornering load on either side. Radius of turn does not dictate the sound's appearance, only cornering load on the suspension. Ticking's frequency does however increase with speed.

Anyone have any experience with this? Before anyone asks, yes I took my Z back to the shop and had it thoroughly looked over and they couldn't find anything. See "my garage" for list of modifications.

Probably a nail in the tire

Negative sir, both tires check out and it would have to be one in each tire if it was.

If rate of ticking increase with speed, it's something on the tire. Last time I went to a tire shop I picked up a tiny sticker on my tire and it ticked.

It's much louder than road debris and the wheels were thoroughly checked. But yea i agree with you, it could be anything on the assembly that rotates or has relatively direct contact to something that rotates.
