i notice something similar, for me its only during sharp, slow turns where the steering wheel is at full lock or just about full lock, as when backing out of a parking spot.
it sounds like a scratching, or creaking sound.
was going to bring it to the dealer but the car is put away for winter now, so will check into it in the spring

Hello all, I tried to search this with no luck. I have noticed that when I make a turn at low speed, such as parking or backing out of my drive with a 3 point turn that I notice a "rubbing" and jumping from the front.
This is very much the same as a 4 wheel drive truck on dry pavement in how it fights to turn. Yesterday, I actually got out to check my fenders to see if the tires caught the inner lip, but that is not the case.
I am not turning the wheel to full "lock" when this is happening.
Has anyone else experience this? Does anyone know the cause?
The car is equipped with axle life, however it is not active at this point ( no need)
On the road, I have no issues, however the wheel is turned much less at speed.
Thanks in advance for any input

I noticed the woooo happen when I turn the wheel to the left only. It happened when the temperatures came down. Once I drive and the car is warm it does not happen again. I also wondered if it's coming from the rear steering not the front.

The woooo sound
I stopped by the dealer. The woooo sound is coming from the from right wheel. They have no idea what it is yet. The technician was going to research in the manual and with Porsche and they will let me know what the fix is. It is certainly annoying and could be embarrassing in such a high end car

I do have the lift. The sound comes when it's iff though as well. It's sort of dry noise as if it's a part that needs some lubricant. It's also only on one side and whe I turn to the right not the other way

As I mentioned earlier I hear the exact same sound in my Scuderia, the only thing common between those 2 is the Carbon ceramic brakes. I mentioned it to my Ferrari service center, but they couldnt replicate it.
Hopefully Porsche will give us an answer, as you said it is quite embarrassing pulling out of a spot with a very noticeable loud WOOOOOO.

I am in the same situation. Just noticed that when I turn the steering all the way to the right, the left front tire definitely rubs against something. When I turn the steering to the left, nothing rubs.... Car is new, only 600 miles. The front axle lifting was not activated. Does anyone have the same issue? Thanks
