Clicking / ticking noise when turning steering wheel fix

[rafman]

We were having a ticking clicking noise in the front when at low speed, we turn the steering wheel. For example, when we are parking. Dealer under warranty replaced my front struts as well as bearings and insulator. Noise is gone, just thought I'd let everybody know if you guys are experiencing the same. I have 30,000 km on my 2020 Kona Electric.

I had this - you get clicks when moving after steering ( not just steering when stationary). It is a known issue - the metal sleeve that the driveshaft boot mounts onto slips within its mounting to the hub. The fix involves a bracket ( not sure if this is a new part or replacing an existing one) fitted inside the wheel hub.
