Default Clicking noise when turning on hills?

hey guys,

Ive had an issue for some time now, and happens rarely since I live in florida and there are not many hills..

But if i am driving down or up hill and turning i get this repeated clicking noise.. pretty much every time from a stop or rolling stop.. I hit the gas with the wheel turned i get...

click,click,click,click,click,click,click,click,click,click

No grease or torn boots on the cv joints.. no strange wear on the tires.. Ill try and record it and post a video..


I searched but idk, I don't think its the brakes sticking..

any thoughts?

i had this issue on one of my other cars. The remedy was either replacing a tie rod end or replacing a wheel bearing. Also double check if you have an embedded nail in your tire that could cause clicking noises.

Ironically, I noticed this today for the first time as well. I was turning around in a steep drive way, and when I went to pull away, I heard the clicking noise for just a few seconds......

i noticed the boots on my stabilizer bar links are torn.. just ordered the parts.. But I don't think that would make that noise..

If tie rods go bad your tires wear on the inside right???

Im not having any tire issues though..
