Noise when turning right
Hi this has probably been asked a million times , but I'll askbagain. I have a 56 plate d5 awd auto. When turning right , especially on roundabouts I get a loud noise almost as if the engine is shifting towards the nearside. I thought it was possibly the bearing so replaced the nearside bearing noise still there. The engine mounts have all been replaced over the last year so think that can be ruled out. There's no knocking noises to suggest cv or driveshaft issues. It really does feel that when going around a roundabout that the engine is weighing down on the left side. Any suggestions of what to look for to try and solve this . Thanks

Sounds different from my problem, but not sure what 56 plate means (second half 2006?) so there is a minute chance my old post might help.
Mine was caused by a low fluid level of the steering and the pump running dry. |

I've checked power steering reservoir and that's fine. Not sure if it's anything to do with it but when I replaced the bearing the suspension strut was really hard to line back up with the hub, it has to be turned/twisted to line up . Should it normally just hang straight when not attached? Mine was at 45 degree to the hub pointing towards the front of the car and kept springing back to that position. I know that there is a gearbox bump stop , it almost feels that when turning the gearbox is on this , I know it's not as there are no marks etc. Another possibility is a couple of years ago I added the subframe poly bushes.

It could possibly be the strut top bearing or mount. The strut bearing should spin freely. Also if you didn't disconnect the drop link when you detached the hub from the strut, then that will pull the strut to that angle you mentioned

There are detailed videos on my YouTube channel showing how the strut components should be sitting and how simple it is to reinstall the strut. Being tensioned at 45° is absolutely not right unless you were perhaps attaching the drop link to the strut before installing the strut to the hub?
