Adding to this because my car had the same clicking noise issue while doing stationary or slow speed turning the steering wheel. I originally thought it was a defective top hat which was strange with only 7K miles on the odometer but I swapped it out with a new one. The noise persisted. Turns out the pinch bolt that hold the strut is one time use and the recommended 60ft lbs isn't enough torque. I installed it at that torque setting and the clicking noise was worse than ever. Then i loosened the bolt (while I had the jack under the brake rotor to give it load or else the strut shifts out) and re-tightened it (full send) and the noise immediately went away.
