Loud clicking when turning wheel all the way left
Whenever I'm backing out of my driveway (I back out to the left) I hear this clicking noise coming from the front right wheel area. It's only when I have the wheel turned all the way to the left.
I think I remember a very similar noise on my Infiniti G35. The problem then was a bad axle. Does this sound like a similar problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Could be a loose end link

I'm assuming the clicking you're hearing is rotational? IE: The faster you are moving the faster it clicks?

Could be a loose end-link or end-links on their last legs(worn joints). Have someone turn the wheel while you observe. If you can somehow put your finger on the end-link or joint to feel for a pop or noise, you know you have it narrowed down.

i had similar clicking with extreme right turns on my previous daily driver, and they discovered it to be a cracked control arm.
any updates on the clicking?

If i turn my wheel all the way in one direction, then go to turn it back the opposite direction i get a slight pop feeling from the steering wheel. Similar to that?
Not sure what it is, always wondered... |

My car clicks on turns both directions every once and a while. Usually under moderate to severe cornering at lower to moderate speeds, and retorquing my wheels usually fixes it.
