So I have had all my ball joints, inner and outer tie rods done. New brakes with slotted rotors. And the clicking noise started to happen just when I turned the wheel left or right pretty far. Progressively it has gotten worse now I hear it when I brake sometimes. It's hard because my car is pretty loud. Any thoughts what this noise is. It's driving me crazy and I didn't know if it was possible if it's from having slotted rotors and the more worn in they get the louder the noise. Any help is appreciated.

I have been having the same problem, my mechanic seems fairly sure its a ball joint but seeing as you just did them this leaves me wondering as well..

It may be your pads catching the rotors. Take your brake pads out and bevel the edges. I had the evenly paced clicking as I slowed after I put slotted rotors on my car (along with new pads). My mechanic told me to bevel the edges of the pads and after I did it the clicking went away.
