Default Left front wheel clicking noise when turning right.

Back in the beginning of 2011 I had three brake rotors replaced under warranty to address a similar noise, but that noise was also present when going straight.

Would a bad front wheel bearing make a clicking noise when loaded up hard. I hear a noise from the left front wheel. Like the sound of a metal stick hitting a moving bicycle wheel.

Taking it to the dealer tomorrow. Any ideas ? Bad front wheel bearing ?

Thanks

I experienced this in a BMW Z4M once...it was the floating rotor locating pins. You could hear them moving around at low speeds. As the wheel rotates each pin "dropped"...don't know if the same design is used in your Porsche.

does not sound like a bearing but who knows??? I have had bearings go and they alway sneak up with noise in the cabin much like rode noise from worn tires.
