I have been working my way gradually through some of the minor faults and annoyances which came with this car and I have just got to a noise from the steering as you turn the wheel at low speed.
It is a twang from the suspension spring as you turn it one way, then another as you turn it back, close to the straight ahead position of the wheel. This I understand is because of the bearing or bush on top of the strut being slightly tight, then suddenly releasing. It works smoothly the rest of the way either side of that.
Question - Can this bush or bearing be lubricated? Alternatively, if I were to jack it up and undo the three nuts holding the strut top into the turret under the bonnet, would it do any good to turn that through 120 degrees to the next position along?
I cannot see much detail of how it works from the exploded diagrams.
