V2017GSC7

C7 2017 Grand Sport Clicking when turning at slow speeds. Left or right. Have seen threads where using Brake cleaner to clean the mounting surfaces and extra torque on lug nuts fixes the issue. I have ~3800 miles on my GS, at ~1500 miles is when the clicking sound started (had car serviced) and returned at ~3700 miles. Any permanent fixes available?

You have two posts on the same thing :-)

This is a known issue, there is a TSB out there on this. I just had mine in at the dealer for this and a couple other things at almost 5,000 miles (started hearing it at around 4,200).

This was my first attempt at it with the dealer. I've seen a few postings on here going either way. They had it done and the problem never came back, and some where it did come back. So I'm not sure where it will go, crossing my fingers.

Since you've had it done once, I'd take it back to the same dealer to have it done again so it is recorded in the system. Hard to say where this issue will go before the end of the warranty period and having recorded attempts to fix it may help in case there are any future alternative solutions they come up with in the end.

BTW, in searches on this I found some people said that they have not had it come back with some heavy torquing of the lug nuts (that makes me nervous) and one other mentioned something about a shock replacement. For those though, I don't have a clue as to how long after it was for them to say it was really a permanent fix. At this point I think people are just trying different things.

Mine seems to be doing the same thing. Good to know I'm not the knit one with the problem and that there could be a solution.

I can say since mine was done last week it is fine :-) The question is how long it will last!

For reference the TSB is PI1498C

I've had my 2017 GS for 1 week. Just noticed the clicking tonight while I was in a parking garage. Guess my best bet is taking it to the dealer just to have the problem tracked.

Can someone post TSB is PI1498C? thanks

I assume this clicking when turning is different from the slight clunking noise and feel that's been discussed here like tires are grabbing when the wheel is cut all the way one way or another?
Like when backing or pulling into a parking spot or driveway at very low speed...<1 MPH.

So is the noise caused by the wheel slipping on the hub?
On my C5, there was popping in the rear axle caused by rusting of the splines in the hub, but this appears to be a different source.

Heard that at about 2k miles.Took a 1/2 Drive Craftsmen breaker bar with a 3/4 inch Chrome Socket.Simply tightened the lugs..A Bit
8K Miles later,havn't lost a wheel and it's been Quiet
