Default Knocking sound when turning

Hey guys. So I've noticed at times when I make a turn or when backing out of a parking space and cranking the wheel I hear a knocking sound. Any ideas of what it is? 2013 F Sport with 37K miles. Under warranty so taking it in either way but just curious on what it could be.

Thanks.

I have heard a similar sound on my car. I have listen carefully and tried to make a similar sound with the tire off. The conclusion I came to was the heat shield around the rotors. Doesn't make that noise all the time, and I am not sure how it happens. But it sounds like a hit or pressure on the heat shield. Kind of like a metallic sound with thin or light metal.
Again, not sure how or why it happens. I have heard it from others cars as well

Wasn't there another thread very recently that had a YouTube video that had a turning sound when going lock-to-lock? Not sure if it's related, but it might be worth searching and you can hear if the sound is similar.

Yes, sounds (pun intended) like the same problem.

Just dropped it off at the dealer an hour ago. We will see what they say. Was there a fix in this youtube video?

I had a loose camber adjustment bolt, on my 2006 LS430. Made a popping/ticking sound, when turning slowly.
