Same happened to me. I heard the ticking on near full lock right and left turns in my parking garage at work. Ignored it. This was after installing a big brake kit from Baer.

A few months later I had total brake failure when the passenger front steel braided brake line failed. I was extremely lucky that there was no post brake fail crash. Inspection of the failure revealed that the balancing weight on the inside of the wheel was contacting the brake line at near full lock turns. Right turns were "ticking" on the drinker side and left turns were ticking on the driver side.

Lesson learned.
