Clicking noise as I turn my steering wheel.

Ladies and Gents, Video Included
Last Saturday I had my KW coils, SPC front arm, Stoptech BBK and FI HFC's installed after long hours. Last night as I was going back home from McD's out of nowhere this clicking noise pops out of my front left wheel. The noise is only heard as I turn to the right. Any idea what this could be?

Did you curb your wheel?

I curbed my wheel like 2 months ago and that noise started coming.. had the dealer fix it with the alignment.. it had to do with one of the rods rubbing against some other.. I couldnt get exact details coz my freaking service advisor had no clue what a toe arm even was.. so I just checked, noise was gone.. and so was I!

Almost sounds like loose bearings. But I'm not entirely sure if we have those in our hubs or not And it's only when turning right huh?

Guys, I am the one who did the install. I retorqued everything after install. It does sound like a moving part like a wheel bearing, because it gets louder and faster as driven faster. My first thought was the dust shields that had to be trimmed to accomidate the BBK, but that would make noise all the time not just turning.

Jay I will watch the video when I get home, it is blocked at work.

So then your TPMS are drilled right into your wheels right? They didn't have to use brackets to have them installed inside them?

Reason I ask is because just yesterday my buddy's car started making the exact same noise yours was making. We jacked up his car and spun the left front wheel and it was his TPMS. His bracket was broken and thats what was causing the noise.
