Default 2015 is250 front clunk noise!

When backing out of same parking spot, I always hear a clunk, clunk, clunk, noise in the front while turning the steering while back in the fixed position. I have heard this noise in the past but did not think any thing of it.

It's hard reproduce this noise, it seems to only be happening when backing out and turning the steering wheel.

Car only has a little over one thousand miles.
kind of frustrated!!!

Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you

Try using your handbrake when parked for a couple of days. Also, it could be the brake pads moving ever so slightly clicking at times which is unfortunately normal.

Is there any feedback in the steering wheel when this happens? If there is, it is possible there is failure in CV joint, which side depends on where the noise is coming from.
This is worse case scenario. Have one person outside while the driver reverses or have a mechanic take a look at the car. Hope this gives a bit of insight on the possibilities.
