Default Any steering/suspension experts?

Greetings 991 Forum,
2013 C2S. 20k miles.
Low speed, tight radius turning occasionally yields a clunking/binding noise for a brief moment. Otherwise drives tight and straight.
Any ideas?

It's caused by the fact you have wide tires, and when you turn in a tight radius the outside of the tire must travel further than the inside of the tire, so it skips or hops. Completely normal, unless you really do have something else wrong. Also google "Ackermann Effect".
