2012 Suburban 5.3 4X4 metallic rattle
I have noticed a metallic popping sound when turning at times. Might be described as the sound of bolts moving around in a metallic container. The location seems to be on the driver's side near the front wheel. Are there any known problems with front suspension/steering/brakes??? The sound is not heard in every instance of turning, just every so often.
Any feedback appreciated.

Check you front struts. Make sure they a tightly bolted in, both top and bottom.
I upgraded to bill steins a few years ago and they made a sound because they were not tight.

I’m sorry you are experiencing this issue. “blueinterceptor” offers a possibility. Another possibility is a loose wheel nut cab. This is just a suggestion and it not meant as a diagnosis.
I recommend consulting with a certified technician for an official diagnosis after inspection.
Please keep us posted.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
