Has anyone experienced a weird clicking sound when the steering wheel is fully locked either left or right, when turning at low speeds? Its more of a pop than click. No issues driving straight, or in regular turns, just when fully extended.

Tires rubbing?

The tires scrubbing at high turn angles. It gets much worse with wider tires or summer tires on cold pavement. It can be downright frightening below freezing on summer rubber. AMHIK.

Makes sense based on my location. Temps have been rising, but we are still in the 30's in the morning, with highs of usually 50-56. What do you believe the tires are scrubbing?

Very high caster and high steering angles make a small contact patch. It loads up and then releases suddenly. The front scrubs pretty hard on a U-turn in the cold, but it goes away completely once the pavement gets to 50F or so.
