Faint cranking noise when taking first turn...

I just noticed these days that whenever I start the car and take the very first turn, there is always this faint cranking noise, (maybe, maybe coming from the suspension, but not sure at all), and it just diappears after that, is it normal? (Oh yeah, I have a 07 AT coupe)

I dunno if this pertains to the 07 coupe but I just had Jasoncham fix the same issue on my 05 sedan, turns out its was my rear driver-side axle (on some threads they call it "axle click"). He said that dealership can fix it, but he did it in 30 mins tops.

Maybe its the same thing, maybe not. You might wanna SEARCH that one.

most likely your abs check. happens when you first turn on your car and start moving to around 10 mph, not necessarily when you turn. try going straight after you start rolling. i bet that's it.

axle click happens every time you start moving from a stop. it is a distinct single tick noise, not a one time grind or winding when you first turn on your car and start rolling.

hmm... yeah, that reminds me... I'll pay attention these days... but yeah, the sound definitely only happens a short period of time after I start moving the car (straight line or corner, I'll need to double check). Thanks!
