Clicking on hard turn
I am getting a clicking sound from the drivers side front end of my 2013 GL550 at very slow speed when making a very hard right hand turn. For example, when pulling into a parking spot. Happens very randomly and haven't heard it in a long time until yesterday. CV boot isn't torn. Any thoughts...?
Thanks...

I would agree...it sounds like a potential bearing issue. Especially if you can feel the click or pop in the steering wheel. Typically in a turn if the outer wheel clicks or pops then good chance it is bearing failure, if it is the inner wheel that it is making the noise it can be a problem with how well the bearing is seated.

Any chance it is the left front tire contacting the wheel well liner? This sometimes happens when I have the suspension raised while doing slow speed maneuvering, e.g., positioning the vehicle at the car wash tunnel.
If you are riding on Continental tires mounted on 21" wheels there's not a lot of clearance in the wheel wells when they are full lock!

I am riding on 21's, but DWS '06's... I'll have to check for that... I didn't think that it sounded like that type of noise. But it is so intermittent that it might be that.
