Clicks coming from engine bay???

Since it's warm here in the SFbay area this week, i've had my windows down pretty much for the first time. I've noticed when in parking garages I can hear a bunch of click sounds when I am driving. Particluarly when going around corners. Is this suspension noise? or is it the variable steering boost? I don't have the A/C on or anything like that. It's also not just the sound of a cooling exhaust system. Anyone notice it?

Related to tire scrub perhaps?

Driving in a garage definetly amplifies vehicle noises. I notice the telltale tire scrub sounds when cornering in parking garages even w/ the windows up. However, it's not a clicking - more of a chirp.

You're right about that, but I would not describe the sound as a "click".

Sway bar? I notice the OEM and aftermarket would creak everyonce in a while.

Nothing to annoying, but you can feel it under the car. Not tranny related. I really think it's the bar.

Or, it's just the valves. We have a lot of them.

2nd. Mine are even starting to creak in the dry now. They need lube.

Swaybar would make sense. It does sound like maybe bushings needing lubrication

Absolutely. I've heard of stock s4 (cabs actually) that have squeaky bushing from the factory.
