Default More C6 clicking

Hey,

Do anyone have any knowledge of or advice pertaining to a clicking noise in the front at low speeds when turning left or right?
I read about the axle bolt & lube situation for the rear clicking noise previously and I have noticed it also, but maybe I'm paranoid.

Sounds like CV joints. Classic symptoms.

You are not the only one. Check out the thread below. Pay particular attention to the posts from myself and Silverspeed. Bottom line, I solved my clicking issue by reducing the torque on the lug nuts to only 90lbs instead of 100.

could be bad end links on the front sway bar. OEM pieces are not exactly hall of fame quality.

Replace lug nuts with aftermarket 1-piece.
