Hello all. New here to the forum, but a long time reader. I've searched this forum and others and can't find too much information.

I have a 63 Series IIA 109 LHD Station Wagon that is making a popping kind of noise on the right hand side front area when making slow speed turns.

Any thoughts? Ideas? As always your help is appreciated!

Tyre rubbing on leaf spring ?

Check for polished bits on edge of leaf spring.

@jamesmartin Thanks for the advice! That doesn't seem to be the problem.

@Bobsticle good call. I will check that today. I didn't see anything suspect under the truck yesterday when I was changing fluid. It's baffling at the moment because it doesn't happen every time.
