its common and they never really solve the problem, youll be living with it like the rest of us.

Yes. But come on, how many times do you turn on full lock? I dont know why people moan about this. Ive heard it all of 3 times in the last year.

guess it depends how often you do slow speed parking in say a multi-story car park, which for me, is everyday - so I think I have good reason to moan. Is that ok?

This is the strut top modification. It cured it on mine.

Book the car in.

with the turning circle of a tanker too, i hear mine everyday.

LOL the turning circle is quite disasterous agreed!

mine has been in for the mod and made no difference at all, just not had time to go back. its not only full lock , i get it when turning normal mainly tho when the road is un even

I get this on a mk1 172 so its not just the newer models.

i have had 3 172s with the same problem. Its the bearing in the strut. Once replaced by reno or myself its always sorted it.

You think the Clios bad... you wanna try a CTR or worse a 306 GTi-6 or Rallye...

they cut a few mm of the strut (i think) I know they cut a few mm of something, but I was told not have it done because it may put the rest of it out of alignment, so I cut a piece of hosepipe in half and stuck that round, does the trick for a bit until it gets cold, heard it for the first time today in about 9-10 months, so it does help!
