clicking noise when turning
***UPDATE***
Have an appointment with dealership. clicking has upgraded to grinding. I looked at the u-joints, they dont seem to be moving. the plastic
shaft covers for the axle side shaft seems to be fine.

Probably not helpful for your situation...
I had some clicking too that drove me nuts. I replaced a U-joint and even strapped the GoPro underneath to figure it out. Noting helped me narrow it down. Then, I decided to take the faux bead lock rings off my Mickey Thompson classic wheels since I tore them up on the trails... bingo! These cosmetic rings are only attached in like 8 spots around the rim and in-between the mounting spots, they were being pressed out by the sidewall at the bottom of the wheel rotation where the sidewall flexes while driving. They were clicking back on to the wheel lip when the wheel rotated. Anyway, probably not your issue but maybe someone else with these wheels that has the same issue will someday find this post.

To the OP what did the dealer say? I am out of town on a wheeling trip. My jeep just started doing this. I have two days of wheeling ahead of me and an 800 mile trip back home. I really don't want to be stuck on the side of the high way.
Information is greatly appreciated. People think I am crazy I have done everything including take my shocks and wheel spacers off to see of they were the culprit.

Curious what you find out. I have a one time "click" occasionally when turn. Just noticed it when I got home from the rubicon this weekend.
It's just once when I turn and seems to only happen when there's a fair amount of weight transfer. I noticed one of my control arm bushings is jacked up and bursting out the side. Waiting to see if it'll be covered under warranty or if I have to order replacement bushing. I'm gonna retorque everything as well.
