Under a unique set of reproducible circumstances, I hear a kind of metal popping noise from my front drivers' side wheel.

After starting the car from being parked (parking brake used), while turning and applying brakes I hear the noise (and feel it a little bit too). Usually doing this in a parking lot. Ideas of what it may be? I've got about 8k miles left on my warranty, so at least I'm covered if it's something nasty

i had the same noise today! i looked at it and there was a damn nail in my tire. it didnt go all the way in so i dont know if i should plug it. i cant patch it at a wheel place because its too close to the sidewall.

It's probably the brake pad shifting, OEM doesn't fit very well and clanks when I go from reverse/brake to forward/brake. Common problem around here.

The brakes make a click. The *POP* that you hear is the steering bearings. Its an extremely common problem that warranty takes care of by replacing the upper mount assembly or the entire strut.

Hm. Was afraid it was something like the steering bearings. Well, I guess it's time to drag it in and get that taken care of. Also wouldn't hurt to get the brakes looked at to see if that may be an issue, or if they're improperly adjusted. Thanks for the input!
