Sweeky front suspension at low speed full lock.

[MDP91]

Noticed that when reversing off my drive at about 2mph that the front left suspension clonks quite abit when on full lock to the right, and also squeaks under slight braking. Its absolutely fine when driving around, cornering, going over speed bumps etc. All the top mounts are fine, done up tight, all my bushes and rubbers etc are all fine and not rotten either. Any ideas? Its very strange, doesn't bother me massively but I'm keen to get it sorted if I can.

On full lock... the cup where the coil sits doesn't rotate along.

What do you mean? it is or isnt meant to do that?

Sorta' meant to do... extreme steering lock.
Mines do squeek too, even cleaned all parts after renewal of coils (one was broken).

Yeah, ive had a little search on here and seems its quite common, my mates 182 FF does it to.

You can 'lube' it but will come back in time.

With this cold weather my Good Year Eagle F1's tyre profile is stuttering too when driving out of a parking space on full lock at low speed... like the tyre profile scrapes over the brick or asphalt road.
At first i thought what the heck?
