21 GLE 63S problem

Hello, I have a 2021GLE 63S with significantly low miles of 12,300 just the other day. I was making a left-handed sharp turn and I can hear clicking coming from the front axle. I used to be lowered on air suspension links. Anyone have a clue what could be wrong or if this is something that happens to these things over time. It’s on both left and right turns…. Hoping it’s a rock LOL

Could also be the tires making noise on the rims

was it colder out? Below 40F? Do you have summer tires? If so this could be wheel hop

That clicking on sharp turns is a classic sign of a worn CV joint. Since you were lowered, it put extra stress on them. It's a common issue, not just a rock. You'll need to get the front axles checked out.
