Default FRONT RT CORNER SOUND

All,

When i turn the car i hear a strange sound kinda like tuning a guitar string like something stretching any ideas? Everything seems to be working OK just a new strange noice.

Thanks

I get that as well on the front right...going over driveway aprons; sounds like a spring sliding over the shock as it loads and unloads.

I had (and still have) that in the 996, and now in the 997. Think of it as the orchestra tuning itself before the symphony in the exhaust! After multiple complaints and visits to the service department, I accepted that it was a fact of GT3 life!

I get it occasionally, as well. While Leif's explanation sounds better than mine, I guessed it was a sway bar with one drop link loaded and the other loose, putting a little vibration into the loaded side as I creep down the driveway at an angle to preserve what's left of the chin spoiler plastic.
