Need help identifying this metal sound

[PVLFD]

Need help identifying this metal sound. It happens every time the car has been parked for some time and I get out of the driveway and turn left. My guess is most of the weight shifts to the right so it makes this sound. Then also when I press the brake the first time it does a metal clanking sound. In this video I do it mostly on the driveway by going back and forth turning the steering wheel. There is no noise whatsoever when I drive on a road or go over bumps. I also took it to the dealer since I have extended warranty but they couldn't find anything (as expected). I recently changed my shocks/springs (the noise was there before) and all the bolts that I removed were re-tightened to the spec.

Here is a video:

Good video!

Are you referring to the metallic/crunch/click -ie type of sounds?

Welp, back-in-the-day, Idda guessed it was a rock in the hubcap …. now, THAT ought to give you an idea of how much help I'm gonna be ..

Seriously, does it do it when you start off, if you hadn't set the parking/emergency brake?

Can you isolate which wheel(s) are making the sound?

I suspect the sound is coming from the brake(s).. fer sure.

Yes, the metallic click or whatever that sound is called.

I haven't tried without the hand break, will give that a try but doubt that's it.
My guess it's coming from the passenger side where I mounted the camera.
I also thought it was coming from the brakes but it puzzles me why it's only happening after I make a left turn and then press the brake. I think when I press the brake the weight shifts and that's what making the noise but I have no clue.

I wanted to mount the camera somewhere behind the wheel but couldn't find a spot for it. If nobody can identify this noise I might do it.

Odd indeed.
My first guess is the top nut on the struts.
Endlinks, then sway bar bushings?

Might be better to add another 10-15ft/lbs to your torque wrench

The strut has been recently replaced (from 2013 to 2017 parts) and the noise is still there so I doubt that's it.

I guess I can try to tighten the other stuff with extra 10-15 of torque.
Could it be the bearing? But I think that would make the noise every time I steer, like this [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV29cvIFdYk[/ame]

[Mr.ac]

Wheel bearing? Maybe? Usually that's a fwd problem, or a rear wheel bearing for rwd cars. Maybe your the lucky one in the 10% where it does fail.

A bad wheel bearing is easy to check, just jack up one wheel and check for any noise/wobble while holding at 12 & 6 or 9 & 3 or anywhere in between.

I'm putting my money on the struts just because they have been recently replaced.
Heck it might even be not suspension related. The last guy I read with a clicking sound ended up being a lose heat shield.
Another part I forgot is the ball joints.

For me, it was the brake pads not sliding properly. I took out the pads and the sliders, cleaned the old grease, regreased, and the noise went away

Wouldn't it make this noise every time you press the brake then?
