Default Clinking sound from front wheel area

Im getting a clinking sound from the front wheels when driving over bumpy roads. Anyone know what might be causing this? I have no mods done to my suspension or wheels yet and I want to get this addressed before I do.

Kind of want to know what to tell the Lexus techs before I go in and have it fixed, otherwise Im sure I will get the same "Could not duplicate sound" from them.

Thanks in advance

I used to have this problem for two days...and then it disappeared. I used to think it was the speakers making clicking noises from the songs...but once turning off the sound, it was apparently it was coming from the steering wheel area. Not sure what caused it
