Default HELP! My left front wheel is making clicking sound when its turning right.

I just noticed this a few days ago, that when I'm turning right with the wheels starting about half turned to fully turned right it makes a clicking sound. I have no idea if its hitting some wire or something is going bad. I have a 2014 GS350 F-Sport with just 5k miles. Please help me out. Thank you guys in advance. I'm also bring the car in for the first service on monday, but its killing me from the inside since i have no idea what it is.

I had this fixed on my 2013, it's a common problem. Take it to the dealer, have the service dude ride with you and let him hear it.

It's something to do with the rotor assembly and not a big deal. They'll handle it under warranty no questions asked. Tictictictic right? Like a light tapping? Not during left turns? Exact thing mine was doing, new rotors and pads and the noise was gone.

You're not alone. Same thing was happening to me but it mysteriously disappeared when I put on a new set of wheels.

I have a similar problem but mine does not tick. It sounds has if the left tires are rubbing against something.
Slight right turn doesn't matter but sharp rights or turning fast to the right it makes a noise as if my rims are rubbing ... and my GS is STOCK ... does anyone have the same problem?

I have the same problem - going to the dealer for an oil change and will bring it up tomorrow. I also feel a bit of a pulse in the brakes when slowing drastically.

I had this problem and it was simply a brake dust shield that had lost a screw. They'll fix it at your service appointment in seconds

Update from me. Both front rotors warped and brake shims were messed up somehow which was messing with the pads.

New rotors, shims and pads from lexus.

As expected. This is a known issue and dealers have been handling it well. Glad you got yours fixed up!

Mine just started doing this when turning right as well. The sound is coming from the rear driver side wheel. Does anyone have a TSB on what the possible fix is?

Could be? The harder I turn right during speed, the louder it gets.

Yep, sounds exactly like mine. Mine only does it if i'm "pushing it" aka the wife would never hear this. Sound similar? When i do the front pads i'm going to check everything out.

I can hear it even on slow turn maneuvers, it gets louder the faster you go. I have looked at the rear brakes numerous times and can't figure out what is causing it other than maybe the parking brake shoes. I'm really at a lost and thinking about bringing it in since the car is under warranty. Let me know if you find anything out.

Service history on my vehicle shows the front rotors/pads replaced under a tsb. I'm not so sure about the rear.
