Ticking Noise in front end

I have a 2004 Honda CRV and when applying the brakes I hear a ticking noise from the front. The noise doesn't always occur and sometimes it's louder than other times. Have had new front breaks installed, along with hardware, slides lubricated, new rotors and ticking still occurs at different times. I've only heard the ticking during easy breaking, when barely applying the brakes, coming to a slow stop or breaking slightly in a curve.

Check the wheel bearings and wheel lug nut torquing. If there are excessive side play of the wheel bearing, it could be due to the wheel bearings or the CV shaft is not correctly torqued.
