I have the same, a clicking noise when turning sharp and slow. Only does it turning left for me. Dealer said it was the front differential and may need to be replaced eventually. If you have warranty, bring it in. I got a quote for 7k to replace. But I'm gonna ride it until it gets worse.

Try to lift the car -move springs and check if there is any dirt between spring and ball bearing

Check the strut bushings. If the OE bush was re-used then it is a possibility. If you have adjustable sway bar end links then check to see if that are binding when you turn the wheel from lock to lock.

I had a similar noise develop (more like a thud than a pop) in the front right side - about 6 months after replacing the sway bars. I lifted the car, cranked on the bolt at the end of the sway bar - and noise went away. It was ever so slightly loose. Might want to try that.

I have the same issue and finally dealer find out was the control arms. They change both upper and lower and the noise is gone. Thanks

I am not sure if I have a similar issue.
When I turn sharp and slowly in the parking lot, I can feel the front tires skipping and tapping. But the dealer told me that this is normal for Porsche 997.1 TT. Does anybody know about this?
Thanks.
