Question Warranty Question

So after reading some posts I've come to the conclusion that I've got a bad CV joint...or something worse. My question is: Is this covered under warranty? If not, any ballpark estimates? Hopefully someone can help me, so thanks to whomever can and does.

it should be granted that you have not been racing, or have any suspension work done like springs, coilovers, etc..

racing as taking it to the drag strip or track, and suspension work like after-market shocks, springs, coil-overs, camber kits or arms.

If you have some after-market stuff on, take it off and put on factory stuff, if you have been racing, clean the ECU buy disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes, remember to have your seat set, and radio/navi codes in hand before disconnecting battery.

alright, I haven't raced in that capacity, so I'm guessing I'll be fine; and I don't have any suspension work, so I'm guessing I'm safe on that front also.
Then again...with some of these dealerships, who knows...maybe my brand of tires is to blame and it's all my fault and I'm a horrible person and I'm going to hell and I have to pay for it by paying them to fix something I couldn't have possibly affected myself.

Agnostics believe in hell?

Write down the situations that make the noise- if stopped at curb and turn full lock steering- slowly start to roll forward click click click, and try the other direction
Or whatever does it for your car- that helps the tech-

the service order is 1 line, customer states noise when turning

yeah- thats what you described~

I guess I should have worded that better, I will be forced to STAY in hell, you don't have to believe in a god to know that Miami is an unending hell.

And yeah, that original situation is pretty much when it happens, not necessarily moving from a stop, but like when I turn down the street and I turn all the way to the left it starts clicking, although for some reason it's been less noticeable the past few days...

Yes, Miami is hell. I have to be in Kendall tomorrow and I'm dreading the trip. I hate Miami like Sharon Stone hated Mars in Total Recall

If you're still under warranty, this will be covered most likely.
