Default Front Suspension/Steering Noise when turning right at speed

Hi,

Looking for any advice on what this noise could be. Been checking the forums and nothing seems to cover this one.

For reference the following parts have already been replaced with no effect:
LCAs, Top Mounts, steering rack (with innner tie rods). Springs and dampers are new (Öhlins R&T)

any ideas?? Noise does not occur driving straight, under braking or at parking speeds.

Thanks!
H

Also, ARB has been removed, bushings inspected and greased, and also test driven with drop links disconnected with no effect...

Here's what my strange steering noise turned out to be after replacing about all the same parts that you did with no improvement: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-solution.html

That is definitely a possibility. And yes, same as you, I have changed the tuning forks also.

Did it make a noise whilst stationary or only during load?

If there was enough "grip" under the tires when parked you could get it to make the noise when stationary by turning the wheel back and forth. I used the car mostly for track use and it was very noticeable under load when cornering on the track.
