Steering Noise - Does your GT3 sound like this?

Dropped mine off at the dealer today and duplicated the noise for them.
It happens even at full stop, but most noticeable when turning wheel to left.
I will let you all know what they find.

Seems this should at least be simple to diagnose. Not a pleasant sound to be sure, but OTOH it's not an aircooled 911 airbox blowing up on cold start. If this steering noise disturbs some of you, the airbox detonation would send you into cardiac arrest.

What is this "aircooled" you speak of?

Mystery solved! Once again Mike in CA gets the prize off the top shelf! Spring rubbing on perch! A little dab will do ya! All Lubricated up and no more noise. Funny, mine was only doing it on one side. I hope they lubed both sides! Going to pick it up now. Was supposed to have 1200 mile oil change, but they didn't have a filter! Had to order it from Germany?! I said I can get one from Suncoast! But after the Black Friday sale they are backed up and it won't ship from them for 4 days! So at least I got the noise fixed, but no oil change. I may just follow Mikes DIY and do it meeself!

BTW, for those who are interested, you can easily see the threaded portion of the strut below the spring, perch, and locking collar that can be adjusted to lower the spring position, and thus the car, by about 8mm.

^Mike...a fantastic pic. Thanks for your continued knowledge on all matters GT3.
Rob, thanks for the update. Mine too only rubs on left hand steering. I'll have to remember to tell them to do both sides.

Thanks, Rob. And the strut had to be removed to access everything including the strut mounting points too, eh? Obviously not a job for the casual DIYer!
