Default tick-tick noise: what could it be?

Have recently been getting a metallic tick sound from the driver's side of my car.
Mainly occurs when decellerating (not braking) and sometimes when hitting a bump/dip in the road.

I have listened and it seems to be coming from the front of the car.
Have taken the wheel off and nothing appears to be loose or rattles.
There are no visual signs of leaks or anything out of place.
underbonet shows no loose bolts at top of strut tower etc.

The car has covered 135000kms with whitline 30mm lowered springs and original factory shocks all-round. Whiteline ALK with F+R swaybars and poly bushes.

We drove to RallySchool in Bakers Hill last Sunday and 10kms was on unsealed road (it ticked before this) and the noise has NOT got any worse since. If there was a road that a failing part would come unstuck, then this would have been it.

suggestions?

Cheers in advance

Toni
