Default Weird sound when steering wheel is turned...

My car (2014 IS250 F-Sport) has been making this weird noise thats hard to put into words every time the steering wheel is being turned to just before its maximum rotation. It sounds kinda like an old car driving over the speed bump. The noise only comes on in the first turn and then its gone. The car has to be moving at a very low speed too, I only hear it turning into my driveway (no bumps what so ever). Has absolutely no effect on the driving characteristic of the vehicle. Does anyone know what or where it might coming from?

Yeah for sure. I just want to get some info on it though. The service center near me is closed on the weekends and with class schedule at my university, I don't know when I'll be able to go. And they won't give me a courtesy car because I'm under 21..

Hope this helps. Worst case, take to dealer when you can.
Thanks! that really helped. I will definitely take it to the dealer sometimes to have them take a look at it

Mine does it too! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I haven't taken mine to the dealer though because it's a very faint noise and happens only once sometimes after the car has been sitting for a while. I honestly don't think it's a major problem.

Did it sound something like this? Did you figure out what was the problem?
