Its crying

.

check the VCU (always a good idea)
creck for subframe mounts coming loose
check for chassis cracking
check VCU bearings

hi freelanderers just an update on the groaning doesnt seem to tighten up on full lock l and r forward or reverse, wheels do scrabble on full lock on a gravel surface ,think thats norm. tried turning lock to lock when stationary no groaning ,would it do it if air in pas system?
