Hey guys I noticed when I crank the wheel to make a hard left turn fast the front right wheel/tire area there is kind of a click/ticky poppy noise. I saw some other guys video before saying something about clicking sound under hard turns? Anyone familiar with this issue? What exactly and why does it make that sound? Any advice, help appreciated.

My WB 18 does exactly the same thing when backing tightly turning either direction, thought it came from diff, but sometimes it will make the whole car seem like it is rolling over a hole or uneven road.

Retorque the rotor ring nuts on all the rotors to 78 In.Lbs. This has fixed the issue for several here, but should be checked to eliminate.

If it's from the front then it's most likely the 2 piece brake rotors clicking. It's fairly normal and there's lots of posts about it. You can try retorquing the lugs to 111 ft/lbs. If that doesn't work, pull the wheels off and making sure the wheel and hub mating surfaces are perfectly clean, then reinstall and torque the lugs properly. You can also check the rotor ring/hub bolts as stated above. Note the rotor bolts are in INCH/pounds, NOT foot/pounds.

I had the same issue when I first got my Charger, cleaned mating surfaces and retorqued and I never had the noise again.

13 Nm = 115 inch lbs = 9.5 ft. lbs.

I would clean the hubs where wheel contact is and rotate the tires before doing this though. Nuts are on with thread lock which will be broken if re-torquing only.

It’s definitely the rotors I’ll have to look at that when I get back.. axle no humming at all
