Default Hearing noise from passenger front side

Sup CL, I just had new lower ball joints installed this Monday, and after getting it installed, I hear some time of clicking/creaking (metal to metal) noise coming from my passenger front side. I can't seem to figure out what that noise is coming from...I don't think it can be the ball joints because I JUST got it installed...so now I'm thinking it can be a bad wheel bearing, tie rod, tension rod, etc....if you guys experienced this noise before let me know as I'm trying to figure it out. Thanks!

I believe I have heard a similar noise coming from my vehicle but I didn't have work done...I just started to notice the noise. The Lexus Expert shop I go to checked it out and found it to be the front brakes. I noticed the issue when I back out of the garage in the morning and then again when I am going forward, I will hear it once the first time I apply the brakes. The sound doesn't appear again until I back up and then the cycle repeats. The pads shift and create a click. Does your vehicle experience the same?
