I wish i had a picture but my wife came home from a girls trip to Miami and I swear it looks like a taradactial **** all over the roof of her car. It was running from the top over the sides. My kids call that going #3 now!
Soooooo, the clicking from the front left axle is back, and back to the shop it does go this morning.
Today was the first time I've had it out so early in awhile (0430), and got a bit of a chance to romp on it ... It is interesting to note that the addition of fresh rubber out back provides great traction, while the fronts that are three years old can be easily induced to spin from a standing start... Good times!!!
And it would appear it is now getting louder; the shop didn't have a car for me this morning (despite the fact I identified a brand new 992 turbo and asked for it - they said no...), but we all got down and had a look at the front left - nothing in contact, no rubbing, however, if I put my hand on the wheel and the car rolled forward slowly, I could fee a metal/metal contact 'clicking' away, and only on full lock.
I am back to either the outboard wheel bearing, or, the front left CV.

Thank you Sir; absolute PITA in my very humble opinion, the car has 20k kms on it - I have trucks with ten times the mileage on them and this has never happened.
