hi guys, i hope my question is up in the right place, if not i'm sorry, i wanted to ask you if you could help me with any ideeas what may cause this
i've had this car for 6 months, and after i had move houses and i have used it to carry all the stuff, a weird noise started to show up every time i park my car or i leave the parking place.(nothing while driving normally). so ...the noise (knocking,clonck ) is coming from somewhere on the front wheels when my steering is either left or right and the wheel are doing somthing like half of a full rotation and it sounds like something snaps(metalic) and after that if i go in reverse, it does the same half of a full rotation and then again it makes the sound. i hope u guys can help to figure out what it is. thanks in advance

Two things;

Either;

One or more of the suspension arm balljoints is worn.

or

The brake pad(s) are loose in the caliper(s), this one is less likely than the arms.
