What is this noise?
The last couple of days I've noticed a metal clinking noise coming from the right front wheel area when I go over bumps. The best way I can describe it is what it sounds like when there's a loose washer and nut on a bolt. A metal on metal sort of thing. Tonight I was able to replicate the sound I heard by pounding on the tire and got it on video and posted it below. Watch in HD to hear the sound I'm referencing clearly.
Any idea what this is?
A couple of things to consider:
1. Just had spacers installed a few days ago
2. Also diagnosed the "clicking brake while turning slowly" issue. Thread about it here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...wheel-tsb.html Wondering if this has anything to do with the noise.
I have an appointment with Lexus tomorrow morning to have the brake clicking fixed under the TSB and several other issues addressed. Mostly rattles...
Any input is appreciated.

I have an IS but I have the exact same noise, when going over bumps or turning left I hear a metal on metal tapping sound, sounds exactly like 2 coins hitting eachother and I can't pinpoint where it's coming from either. I brought my car in but they said to pinpoint exactly where they would have to take my dash apart so I said no thanks haha! I hope we can solve this issue! I just hope it's not doing damage. If you find anything out, let me know!
