Default wheels turned far left or right and over bump makes clicking noise.

not cut all the way to one side, but pretty far. i hear a clicking, maybe a slight clunk if done fast.

i am thinking control arms. what do you guys think?

also, should get louder and worse right? cause my dealer can't find a problem unless its completely obvious.

Default Mine have always clicked

It never has gotten any louder and the stealer I mean dealer says it's normal. The wheels or steering haven't fallen off in 28k miles so I guess it's ok.

Default I have the same. I remember someone diagnosing it as coming from the brakes.

It is normal and OK.

Default Could also be the wheel bearings...

There is a TB on the A8's about a clicking noise during turns coming from the WB
