You should check around your drive axles.  Loose parts, saggy rubber
components, flexing suspension parts could be rubbing against the constant
-velocity joint bolts.  I had a ticking that turned out to be my exhaust
mounts fatiguing and the pre-muffler pipe rubbing on the bolt heads on
hard right turns!  Drove me nuts jacking up the car & spinning the wheels!
