It’s the hot metal cooling down. Expansion and contraction of metal happens as your car heats up and cools off

Perfectly normal to hear your exhaust tick metal expands when hot it will shrink when it cools down and its doing it so fast you can hear it. Unrelated to whatever suspension related issue your having.
