I've started getting a high‑pitched ticking noise from my front left wheel. The ticking speeds up with acceleration and is most noticeable when turning right at low speeds (roundabouts especially).

The car does have spacers fitted, and from what I've read it could be the brake heat shield catching the disc perforations, but I haven’t taken the wheel off yet to confirm.

I barely hear it over speed bumps or when driving in a straight line, and the wheel needs to be turned more than halfway before the noise becomes obvious. The sound also pretty much disappears when it's wet or damp, but in dry weather it's very noticeable.

Sorry about the wind noise, it's not the easier to try and record it.

Anyone experienced something similar?
