Default ticking sound when steering right

hey guys,

yesterday when i was driving through a parking garage i noticed a metallic ticking sound everytime i took a sharp right corner to go tothe next parking level. the sound seems to come from the front half of the car.

there is no sound when i drive straight, steer (sharp) left or when the car is not moving. it's not the infamous rear axle clicking which i had in the past and fixed.

last week i installed my berk hfc's but i'm not sure if it has anything to do with that as i haven't driven through a parking garage for months. other mods are coilovers, swaybars, adjustable end links, ss brakelines, nismo exhaust, berk hfc's.

the only thing i can come up with is something having to do with one of my ss brakelines that when steering right bends in a way touching some part of the suspension..

does anyone have some other possible causes i could check once i get my car on a ramp?

Could be a front wheel bearing. Turning loads one side more than the other, making a bad bearing more apparent.

In a case like that I'd also guess a wheel bearing, or possibly one of the rear CV joints. Sometimes it's tough to tell where the noise is coming from.
