Front end clicking/ popping?
 
I think I may have seen this mentioned before, but I can't find it anywhere. I've noticed that when I back into my garage, the front end, especially the drivers side, has a clicking noise. It seems to be mainly when I'm turning the steering wheel. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what did it turn out to be and is it something that poses a danger to driving the car?

unfortunately it is pretty common and it happens mostly in reverse. No known fixes but check the basics or have the dealer investigate.

Check wheels lugs. I head they were torqued at 80 lbs but should be 120 lbs.

Lugs should be at 140 ft lbs.

Let me weigh in on this. We just returned from a 2400 mile trip and spent 4 days on the Tail of the Dragon. Clean the hub behind the center cap really well and blow out any particles with an air hose. Apply a super thin layer of anti seize to the hub where the rotor slides over as well as the backside of the rim’s mounting surface. We experienced no noise whatsoever after pushing really hard on the Dragon all 4 days.

Most of the hub clicks are simply clicking in a turn or u-turn. The front end click is a separate item but check the hubs first.

Do what crossroaddemons says and troubles are over. That's what to do. Torque to 140 Lbs
