Front driver wheel noise
When going over a small bump from 20mph on up, I hear this 'tink tink' sound from the front drive side wheel. It sounds sort of like if you take a fork and hit a glass cup. Another way to describe it is if you have a super hot exhaust, it has that 'tink' sound as it starts to cool.

I have an 05 TL w/60k miles and I noticed the same thing recently.It sounds like a light scraping noise.I think it may be the brake dust shield as Neg1 mentioned.I don't think its the wheel bearings.

I can not duplicate the sound when stopped. The heat shield sounds like a good possibility. Almost like a small rock hitting it would make that same sound. Guess I'll have to pull the wheel and tap everything around to see if I can figure it out.
