it really is a vague discription. do you feel the tick in the gas pedal? does it sound like its coming from near your tires... or your engine? most likely it is a wheel bearing or bushing. if it becomes a knocking noise when you go around corners it is your constant velocity axle i am assuming your vehicle is a front wheel drive.
