Groaning

Barneyboko · Mar 3, 2014

I,m finding my recently acquired 03 Kalahari a very pleasurable drive with very little to moan about as yet. However I am getting a bit of what I would call "car park groan" which to clarify is a bit of groaning from the front when I am doing 2 - 5 mph in the supermarket car park. Is this normal or am I looking at a bush replacement project ?

does it only do it in supermarkets?

is this in a straight line or whilst cornering?

only when cornering at very low speed. No sign of it when rolling.

Does it happen if your stationary and turn steering from lock to lock? I know the pas pipes can make a bit of a noise on some

good call Kiz

check the pas fluid level and while the bonnet is up get someone to turn lock to lock whilst you stand at the side of the car (trying not to get run over) to hear where the noise is eminating.

thanks for the feedback. The PAS fluid is up to level and looks fine. It doesn't feel like a PAS issue, although the best I can explain it, is that it is audible whilst steering at low speed, but usually when there is some body movement, such as the suspension recovering from going over a sleeping policemen.
