Hi all -- I'm really hoping you can help me figure this out. I am not technical at all with cars and it's driving me crazy. I've had the car at the SC twice and they haven't fixed it. (More details below). I'm hoping you all can help me suggest things for them to look at so I don't have to request a buyback after my next visit. My employer pays for group legal, so I'm ready to take whatever action is necessary to remedy this situation.

The vehicle emits a loud, metallic clicking noise when turning the wheel all the way to the right or the left. It does not persist when turning in motion (i.e. there isn't a speed dependent, constant clicking like you'd expect with a bad CV joint)

- At the first SC appointment, they "torqued all suspension components, found no 'give' and can't identify the cause". Super.
- At the second SC appointment, they said it was the "tie rod" and ordered a replacement. When I brought the car back, they installed the new tie rod, except now the car is misaligned and the clicking is still present. I returned and they aligned it, but issue is still present.
