Dealer just called me. My appointment got moved to next Wednesday. Technician just had a baby... Strange that there's only one Technician that can work on my Q7?

Is it a small dealer?

Looks like it's control arms...show your dealer the TSB referenced above (should help if they're not aware of the issue).

Dealer is quite small. I think they have only 2 Audi certified techs, and the other guy is not up to speed for the tech on the Q7. Here is the list I'm asking them to look into:

Clicking sound coming from front end during slow turns.
Humming sound coming from steering when turning slowly.
Squeaking breaks during reversing only.
Extra clicking noises from steering during signals.

Please ask them if the front wheels need to be taken off to preform the TSB for the front end clicking...thanks.

I also started to notice exactly two clicking sounds coming from the gas pedal right after a slow left/right turn. Happens once in a while. I have a ’18 that is less than 3 weeks old, and only 300 miles.

I am getting the same noise, I will ask about this when I go in for my next service at 30K, thanks

That happens at 25MPH, some sort of DAP mechanism. Apparently normal. It has been already discussed.

I see, thanks! It didn't bother me too much anyway.
