Default Clicking noise

My sister has a 2011 TTS and just put winter rims and tires on it. Now when she turns hard left you can hear a clicking noise (turning hard right makes no noise)! The tire shop checked and there is no issues with the size of the rims/tires, the tires are not hitting anything and the wheels are not touching the brakes. Anybody have any ideas?

I would get your front drivesaft velocity joints checked. Typically, when these have issues, they click during very tight turns. Sounds very early for this problem to arise on a 2011 model, but if it's a defective velocity joint, at least it's likely under warranty. Hope this helps

It's not the driveshaft. There is only 1000k on this car and it started clicking as soon as the winter rims and tires where put on. It's going back to the tire shop this week to have it looked at.

Hi

I'm also interested mine makes the clicking noise only on right turns when moving around 15km/hr.

Please keep us posted with a fix
