Clicking noise from front wheels
I heard that 13,14 had this issue my 15 GS is having this issue as well. Clicking noise is coming from front wheels It's like few clicks in a row when turning the wheel left / right.
Is there a DYI fix. Don't want to take to dealer they might duplicate the problem. It's not such an issue but when window is down I hear it kind of makes me wonder why a $60k car is making those noises.

Are u lowered? The popping noise could be the springs coils rubbing together when turning the wheels if u have lowering springs.

Remove your front wheels and rolled them back and forth. Make sure you don't hear any noise.
I'm telling you this because my brand new car front wheels was making noise. Took it to the dealer and found out two front TPMS sensors snapped out of the valve stem. So the sensor was inside the tires, therefore making noises. You TPMS will still work, and you wont get a warning Check TPMS sensor light on your dash.

Hey guys, earlier these year I had a 'cracking' noise when I turned sharp left at low speeds. Took it in and they said my rotors were rusted out. I googled it a bit and it's not uncommon for a 3-4 year old car to have this, particularly in the North East.
Hope that's not the case with yours, at least not yet. Wasn't a cheap repair.

Had the same issue on my 2014 GS F sport. Had to do with the rotors and there was a TSB for it but my VIN number wasn't included in the TSB but I kept having the issue and so they replaced the rotors. Still has clicking when I turn left but the noise is gone for when I turn right. Really embarassing though as to how loud this clicking is especially in a parking garage.

I'm outside of the VIN range for this but having the same issues as everyone else has described.
Is there any reason to think that my wheel spacers could have caused this? I'm asking from a service tech perspective. Trying to decide if I should take the spacers off before I have this addressed. I know they have to prove the cause of malfunction is due to the aftermarket part and based on my inspection, the spacers I have don't physically touch the disc part of the rotor. I don't want to give them any leeway for denying me the service.
