Default Popping noise

I'm hearing a popping noise will turning at slow speed into a parking spot doesn't matter if parking is on right or left still hear a noise coming when I turn the wheel to pull in. Anyone else heard this noise before it's not the brakes I know how that sounds like. Any suggestion made appointment to have it looked at Lexus

AWD or RWD model?

First thing first, check the lug nuts.

Is the sound coming from the front or the rear of the car? The first thing comes to mind is CV joints; but in your case that would only make sense if the sound is coming from the rear.

If the sound you're hearing is what I heard for mine, it was the upper control arm not torqued all the way for me.
