[s-cars] Left Front suspension "tick, tick"

[Ron Einblau]

OK, I am getting a little frustrated here.  I have had a metalic "click"
noise when I pull to a stop and when I get out of the car.  It usually only
happens when the car has warmed up. Change in load on the front end I figure.

Within the last 2 months I have replaced my left lower control arm, strut
mounts and bearings, and replaced the left steering rack mounting bracket
with a new fabricated bracket.  Everything is solid as a rock including the
tie rod ends.  Brake calipers and hardware seem tight.

I do hear some shift linkage clinks moving from reverse to low gear, but it
is a different sound that the left front noise.  Does any one have any
ideas about what I might be missing here?
