Ticking Noise From Drivers' Side Wheels?
Hi all! It's been a long time since I've visited here. Glad to see the forums are still going strong!
All of a sudden today I'm experiencing a loud metallic clicking or ticking sound from the drivers' side (rear?) wheel. It sounds like a broken TPMS band, except I had all of them replaced with the newer TPMS sensors that are situated in the valve stem. The noise happens upon turning. I looked under the car, saw nothing amiss. Steering feels ok too. No TPMS light blinking or anything. The car has almost 45k miles.
Thoughts?

Update: I took it to my dealership the other day. (Yes you hear a lot of **** about dealerships, but mine is very reputable and their work is top-notch.)
The tink tink rattle rattle rattle was NTB's mistake: they left a sensor retainer behind when they installed the new TPMS! It was rolling around in the rear wheel. I'm never again taking my car to a mass tire franchise again!
Nothing but sloppy and careless work.
