I recently did some work on my front suspension/brakes area - namely, I removed the extended studs I had on the front of my car, and then re-installed my OEM studs. After reassembling everything, and driving about 50 miles, I heard some noises, that sounded like crunching/clicking metal.

Below 5mph, it happens at full lock left or right. At higher speeds, it happens when there is a good amount of tire load due to cornering forces.

At first, I thought it could be a wheel bearing. But they seem tight and my car only has 35k miles on it. I have seen a previous post where a member (forgot who, sorry!) said that their steering rack may have had damage, but I'm not sure if it is that. I can feel some of the clicks in the steering wheel when it happens, however. But it is very faint.

Anyone have any thoughts? I still have my bumper to bumper warranty, so I may just drop it off at the dealer and let them fix it. I just want to understand what the noise may be.
