Clicking sound when turning

Technical discussion such as Bluetooth, Sat-Nav, iPods, tyres, brakes, all that kind of stuff.

Clicking sound when turning

Post by Ragnar Lothbrok »

In my 2017 R, when accelerating gently from a standing start going slowly AND turning either side full lock or almost full lock, I can hear a rapid and faint click-click-click-click sound that goes away once the wheels are straightened. Typically, pulling out of a parking spot will reproduce this or turning at low speed into a street.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Normally clicking / knocking on full lock is the sign of a worn outer CV joint.

100% what Bob says. If it clicks on right hand lock it’s the left hand CV joint and vice versa.
