nasty "twanging" noise

Recommended Posts

Comes from the front. it sounds like a metal bar of some kind and it happens when moving slowly and turning the wheel lock to lock (like something is catching) any one heard of this before? any ideas?

any help appreciated!!

Assuming original suspension, it's probably just a spring not seated properly in the bottom of the strut. If so, it's nothing much to worry about.

Sounds like a seized top mount. Does the steering pump seem to struggle more than it used to? Does the steering seem unwilling to re-centre itself properly?
