strange noise on full lock

hi fellow freelanderers just wondering if any one has had this problem or knows what it might be,a strange groaning noise appears from underneath when i turn on full lock in both directions but only at low speed with no power on ie foot off throttle.its on my 05 td4 commercial with 133k look forward to any suggestions timfreecom

Its crying .











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

power steering fluid low

p a s level is fine. i do find the steering slightly stiffer than on my wifes td4. thanks treworgy

thanks mad hat man , give them a try. must admit i am thinking vcu

do the vcu check in the FAQ section and post on http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/vcu-torque-test-results-109486.html please.

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?

i had similar noises before ird unit packed up,actually it was in bits all the teeth on pinion were stripped

you're not hanging on the wheel causing the relief valve to blow are you?
