    Anyone familiar with front end noise during slow (parking lot) turns?

    Have noticed a light popping ("stretching" sounding?) noise when making slow turns (usually just during right turns of the steering wheel). Seems to be coming from the left front wheel area.

    Sounds like you are describing tire scrub. Quite common in parking lots with tight turns and slow speed. The outer tire is slipping or skidding a little as you turn causing the sound. Some parking lot surfaces, the noise is more pronounced, others you never hear it.
