Ticking in right front during different driving conditions - 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan Tech Package

[20GV7022]

I have had this ongoing ticking issue in the right front for almost a year now, maybe a year. It has been to the dealership six (6) times already with no fix yet.

The ticking that happens is in quick succession but only lasts for a very brief time (seconds). Going around corners, over bumps, even breaking. Only the right front side. The sound is very reminiscent of driving over dry sticks or leaves. Please don't say maybe that's it - IT's NOT. Clean roads free of debris.

They have replaced part of the axel, tightened something a few times, replaced a steering knuckle.

Has anyone had this issue? It's very unique and not easily diagnosable apparently.

Thanks

One thing in common with all above is suspension movement. Try bouncing the front by pushing on the fender. Turn the wheel when parked and have someone listen.

Does it happen at the same speed, especially after the car has sat for a while? Many here have the dreaded driveshaft ticking that happens around 27-30 mph. If you drive right through that speed you may hear it for just a few seconds. My 2015 has it and it didn't start until after 40K. Could sound like it comes from the front. Open the center console. If it's louder, that's your problem.

My wife had a '15 Lexus SUV that had a rattle over certain bumps. After a couple trips back to the dealer they finally put some microphones under the hood and sure enough, they found a spare bolt from the factory in the fender well.

It happens at all speeds. Only when driving. I have tried pushing down on the suspension and nothing. It’s a conundrum for sure.
