draxxmenvone Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi, I'm not that mechanically minded - I once overfilled my car with oil to the point that oil came out the air filter.Problem - when I turn my wheels in an entire lock, I get a loud BOING / TWANGING noise from the drivers side front wheel. I've also noticed that the steering goes a bit wonky when I reverse and turn.Can anyone tell me what this means? I know if I go to a garage, they'll conjour up a whole bunch of other stuff to fix unless I know what the problem is.I've just got a regular 1l unmodified lupo.Thanks for your help folks,Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggaz Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sounds like the spring isnt seated in the platform properly, maybe broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOCK Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm not that technically minded either but I'd guess at a damaged steering rack.NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ID modds Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sounds like you may have a broken coil spring or what you call a top strut mount bearing siezed.Got no idea on how much it will cost you all bepends where you go. It should only take about 1hourthe spring will be about £60 and the bearing £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
