Front wheel click click

Experience a click click noise from the front wheels when backing up or going fwd and slight turning. Pads have been replaced with oem. I'm currently lowered software wise. Spacer up front 15mm any help will be thankful.

I would get someone to listen outside as you are backing up to see if it is audible externally and roughly from where. Are all the wheel nuts tight?

How old a car and how many miles? Click click from wheel can be wheel bearing. But first look at tires for stones as suggested above. Sometimes the Occams Razor approach is right.

2017 40k miles I have spacer 15mm but I've had the click when I back up slow or pull fwd. Everything is torque to specs. Even had the pads changed still a tick tick at times. Without the brakes being applied. I've seen a few do a friction ring or tighten the strut arm bolt since it's under pressure. Dealership said it's pads so I had them done still tick tick.
