Default Banging noise when turning

Hello all,

I've noticed recently when I cut my wheel hard turning and driving a little fast then idle (parking lots) I hear a loud banging noise??? Is this a normal thing?
2014 Fx4 2"level installed factory 20"wheels and tires.

Have you checked to see if the tire is rubbing the inner fender wheel well? Depending on whether these wheels and tires are off you year of truck they could be rubbing. The other possibility is you have a CV joint failing. I'd take it to a dealer since it's still under warranty, and at least get it documented so if it fails later it will be covered.

Check your coil springs. Sometimes they break. Take the front tires off and look them over. I had a busted passenger side spring, second coil up from the bottom. It would sometimes pop while turning like you mentioned. Picked up two new spring/strut assemblies from rockauto.com a few weeks ago. Easy to change out. I'd say yours would be covered under warranty, but the installation of the leveling kit may have voided that. I don't know.
