Clicking sound from steering

I am noticing a click / rubbing sound when turning right in my R50 only occurs during right hand turns and at 25% steering wheel turn then if I turn it past it quiets up then when returning back to center again at 25% but only right. Doesnt matter if moving or not just sitting idle in park does the same thing.

Any ideas?

Its the bushings..... My GF's R50 has the same exact problem.

The dealer should be able to tell you which ones need replacement.
