Default Need Help Diagnosing Noise in Car

I was wondering if anyone in the Seattle area (or close by) can help me check out my tC to find out why a clicking noise is happening. It seems to me that it is coming from the front left tire. My tC is lowered on stock shocks. Not sure if it is loose bolts or a blown shock. I recently discovered the noise and hope to have it fixed soon so it doesn't lead to something worse. I don't want to bring it into a dealership because they might charge me an arm and leg just to check it out. Just wondering if any felllow ScionLife members can help another member out. Please let me know if you can help me out. I appreciate it and thanks in advance!

Once in a while when I drive over bumps in the road. Like the freeway and small streets. I even tested it driving over the metal construction plates. You can hear the click. So I would say just over bumps.

check your strut bolts to see if they are loose.
