GT3 making groaning noises when turning steering wheel
Hi all, I just noticed that my car has been making groaning noises when I'm making low speed turns (e.g., parking). The noise is coming from somewhere at the front of the car. Does this mean my power steering rack is kaput, or something like that? Any ideas?

is it a groaning noise or more like a "ping", like plucking guitar strings? if the latter, then it's normal. the sound is from the spring perches on top of the struts. spray a lubricant and it should go away. hope this helps...

viperbob - Fluid level is normal and no leaks from under the car
BobbyC - No, more of a groaning, especially towards the locks (i.e., when the pump is under high pressure). I do have the spring noise as well though.
996FLT6 - Nope, no whining noises on start up.
