I had a ticking/clicking noise (2000 S) that evenutally turned out to be ball joint assembly failure. First on the right side, then on the left. The car had about 50,000 miles and had already had the Airmatic suspension system problems. The noise was somewhat intermittant and I had to drive the dealer shop foreman around to verify that he heard the noise.
