Whinning noise from the front

Post by jeegnesh » Wed Nov 07, 2012 10:23 am

Firstly, I know that happens when Sanj is in the car, but for once this happen even when he's not in the car so rule that one out.

This is just a note that might help someone else.

So on cold start used to have a whinning noise for about 30 seconds or longer, sounded horrible.  Also on right hand turns could hear some odd sounds.

On my MOT there was a warning on the Front Left Bush, after a good look on the ramp, Front Left and Right Bushes and Wishbone, got these changed.

Whinning noise all gone, plus the steering is proper tight and feels so much better, now I can see how much extra play the steering had previously.
