Hello!
I just discovered a new noise. When cornering at very low speed on the left, a noise can be heard on the right side, it's like a tick-tick-tick. Not a metallic noise, it's more like the noise that the AC (flaps I think) sometimes make. It's also not significantly louder with windows open.
- The CV boots are in good condition (at least they where 4 months ago) and the noise cannot be heard at higher speed so I don't think it's that
- The noise is not present when steering with engine running but car not moving (so I think it's not the steering rack?)
I concluded it was the top struts bearings but wouldn't this noise also be present when turning with the car not moving if it was the case? Another possibility would be a subframe screw, but I did not remove any and as far as I remember the noise is quite recent.
Thanks for comments/suggestions
