Hi, I start my car, back out of of my garage, drive forward 25 feet then make a left turn - at that point the car has 2-3 clicks (driver side front wheel area I think).  
  
 This has been going on for long time, but now I am getting 4-7 clicks. Can you tell me what it is/ what to do for it (or not to do) …  
  
 PS only had it 1 time when the engine was warm… on a long mountain trip with loads of left turns in the road…

You probably have a bad CV joint. You’ll need to have someone at a good shop drive it and look at it.
