Default Suspension Noise – Please Help

I’ve got this tick-tick sound coming from my front suspension when I go over dips and bumps in the road at low and medium speeds.
When the car is standing I push down on the front and it makes this tick sound, which sounds like it’s coming from the spring.
Can anyone help me on what it could be?

If you hear any noises when you push down on the fenders, 90% of the time its the upper control arm bushings. Replace your upper links.

My top control arms make a lot of noise too. No ticking but more a creaking sound. Definately replace those. And an obvious one would be somthing is stuck in your tire. I had a problem last week when I had a screw stuck in my rear tire. Could only hear it at low to medium speeds.
