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 had the same problem with my 2008 tl type s 6 speed ...... take it back to the dealer and tell them the problem ..... if u pull ur hand break and take off with it will make the same noise ur ganna have to tight the spindle nut on ur axel the big nut that tights the axel in place ...... this happens when u buy a new car and u start abusing it or in my case stretching it out from a dig .... takes 10 min. 2 do ....Make sure u tell them to do it 2 both sides cuz i did one side and a week latter i had to go back and do other side.....

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.
