Front suspension

When I make a turn at low speed like in a parking lot I can hear a ticking sound coming from the front brake area. I'm not sure it's from both sides but I know that it's from the driver's side. I took both front tires off and couldn't find anything hanging or rubbing. Any thoughts?

Is this at full lock? That's normal with these wide tires.

I had the same noise when the runflats got old and hard, with new non runflat tires this is nearly gone.

Might be a loose center cap. As they age and get brittle the plastic spring ears break off and sometimes can make a ticking sound as the wheel rotates. You can check them by tapping on them with your finger. If the cap makes a noise it is loose.

At full lock the steering pump could also be making the ticking noise. That sound is pretty normal.
