Exclamation Ticking / Clicking Noise.

There's a ticking noise coming from the front passenger wheel.

It doesn't matter the revs.
It only does it while moving at 25+mph.
It doesn't matter what gear it's in.
It's getting worse and worse as time goes on.

It went from a few ticks a second .. now it's 4 or 5 ticks a second. It's driving me up the wall

What could it be?

I believe I figured out the problem.

It's the heatshield around the passenger side CV Joint / Shaft.

It seems the plastic / rubber washers have worn over time which caused the heat shield to vibrate to make that ticking sound. I will have to look for some rubber washers and tackle this project another time.

I will report back.
