Sharp turn click

I am still new with my TL-S that I have owned for a few months. I know that it makes a couple of buzzing sounds right when I start it up and hit about 15 mph and this is due to the ABS self test and believe the VSA check. But I noticed at slow speeds when I make a sharp turn at low speeds I can hear a fast consistant click under the hood near the firewall. This is a electronic click and not mechanical. Does this have anything to do with the VSA? The boots are good and not ripped.

I've had the problem from day one and my mechanic can never find the problem. He has checked the front end many times. I finally gave up.
