Hey Guys, I recently noticed a cracking / popping sound when pulling in or backing up to park. It sounds like its coming from the left front side when I turn my steering wheel in either direction at very low speeds. Its driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated. I cant figure out what it is.

Have you turned the wheel at park and looked to see if it's hitting the fender liner or anything else?

Thanks for the message audtatious. I jacked the front end up to get a closer look and turned the wheels in both directions. The popping was not there anymore and things looked fine underneath. It seems to occur only when its on the ground due to the weight factor of course. Hopefully its nothing major. Its been hard to pin point the exact location

Have someone else sit in the car and turn the wheel while you are outside looking. At some point you should be able to pinpoint the issue. Else, if the car is still under full warranty, take it to Infiniti and have them look at it. Sounds weird.
