Front Right Clicking Sound??
Ok guys here is my problem.
When I turn to the left at around 20-15 miles an hour (like in a parking garage steering wheel is turned 1 ˝ times) my front right tire "area" makes a clicking sound (like a loud a pen “clicking”)
I’ve done no modifications to the suspension yet. Is this the “Tie rod”? or something else??
Next question I just noticed this today so I haven’t had a chance to check the warranty is this kind of stuff covered?
Thanks in advance. I have tomorrow and Friday off so It be nice to go in with a little foreknowledge so the dealership doesn't tear me a new one..

torn cv boot
if you loose the fluid inside the cv joint it clicks to let you know it damaged
either that or it is just plain broken
wheel hub would be more of a vibrating at a little bit higher speeds
its definetly a cv
but dont quote me on that. . .

This sounds crazy, but make sure that none of the spokes on your wheel are cracked.
I had something similar. You could only hear it at that speed because of the lack of road noise.
My first thought was drivetrain/suspension.
Turned out my wheel was defective due to a casting problem in production (aftermarket wheel) and had cracked when hitting a pot hole.
I know it sounds unlikely, but it's worth checking.

Ok here is a really dumb one that has gotten me worried on occasions. Check the tire for rocks and or screws nails ect. These sound a lot like clicking when going around on the tire.

doesn't sound like a rock or nail though, the same sound all the time, any surface and only when I turn to the left a certian amount or more.
we'll see tomorrow =)
