Clicking sound from drivers side tire - Video Included

So my local dealership replace the lower ball joints in my driver side tire after finding a lot of play in them. I had been hearing deep thudding/clunking sounds when going over bumps and had some abnormal tire wear on that tire.

Well after they installed the new ball joints, I didn't notice anything intially.....later yesterday evening (same day they replaced them) I start hearing the clicking noise you hear in this video.



Any idea what this could be? Dealership told me to bring it back Monday, but wanted to see if anyone here had any insight.

It happens when I hit the brakes, when I don't hit the brakes...hell I heard it when I got out of the truck and then heard it by stepping on the running board.
