Aerodeck mc2 NOISE WHEN TURNING ONLY IN MOTION

[Ashley meekings]

Hi all. 

My aerodeck is making an odd humming/groaning noise when turning and moving with anymore then about 1/3 of the steering lock only. 

Its almost like a power steering noise, but when not in gear, or coasting, or even going lock to lock on the spot there isn't a sound 

You can almost feel it in your hands an feet, an only happens when moving even slowly around Estate sort of corners

I've checked my ball joints, they ain't amazing but I've seen worse, 

Gearbox oil was done last year

Recently had a new clutch 

Track rod ends are fine

 

I'm either swung between the ball joints an track rod ends letting the wheel camber when turning too much causing pressure on the shafts, box an diff 

Or that it could be box related 

I have a great understanding of these cars an engines but I can't get my head around this, please help 

Many thanks

Can't really shed any light on this other than mine has been doing this for a while now, and hasn't got any worse over probably nearly two years. 

Mine only really does it turning right and around 5mph.

It sounds like youve looked in all the right areas for the culprit mate. Without actually hearing it its hard to say for sure what the fault is but if you can get the parts such as track rod ends and stuff cheap enough id stsrt with those. Always best to start with the cheapest probable cause then work your eay through. Worst case scenario is the rack itself, although would expect the noise to be there when stationary too. Does it appear to be more to one side of the car? Also look for any signs of rubbing on the various parts.

Cheers guys much appreciated, an It doesn't seem to be much different which ever way I turn, but seems a bit worse when the car is cold which also makes me think it's more mechanical.
