2008 TL Type S front clicking noise

I just picked up an 08 TL Type S with about 44k miles. I had the dealer do the timing belt, new tires, and look at a clicking noise. They checked the suspension, everything was good.

I don't buy it, I'm worried its more serious... here is a video of the noise. Any thoughts?

Click happens when the load is put on and off. So on throttle and the weight shifts and it clicks, then when I get off and weight shifts forward clicks again. Happens going straight, turning, whatever. In the video I'm on and off the throttle making it click.

Those of you who had tightened your axle nuts, is this what it sounded like? A search yielded various things but no videos, I'm wondering if you guys had similar noises.

I wish I could be of more help but I'm curious as to where you found this TL-S? I dont recall seeing a 44k mi WDP go up for sale in the recent past.
