is it a constant tick or just once when you put the car in gear? If it only does it when u put it in gear it sounds like your U-joints.

it depends if you go with stock ujoints or the stronger ones. for stock like 40 bux plus someone to change them out for you if you cant do it your self.

Not to say you don't need U joints but they are not the cause of your tic. Pull the inspection cover off and check that your torque converter bolts are tight.
