Clicking sound on full lock turn

I was turning round in a car park today, on full lock, and noticed a clicking sound. I also noticed it going round a small roundabout.

Could this be a problem with the ball-joint-thingey that they issued a recall for or is it more likely to be something else?

thanks, Justin
