When the car is on and I turn the wheel all the way to the left or right, I hear this clicking noise coming from the engine bay, above the headers. This only happens when the car is on, any suggesstion? Please help...

Your hearing the idle air control valve working to keep your idle stable under the load of your power steering system.

It's normal.

So this is a common issue with our cars? But this noise was never there, it just started recently...
