2008 Mitsubishi Pajero noise when turning
Year: 2008
Variant: 3.0 litre v6
Categories:
Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
When turning sharply (particularly full lock) at slow speed, i.e. parking, there is a 'crunching' noise coming from the front axle/wheel area when turning the steering wheel.
The car has around 55000 Km on the clock and the same problem happened with my previous Pajero, also at around the 60,000 Km mark.
Any suggestions as to what the problem may be? The Mitsubishi Service Centre say that it just requires lubricant but this has not helped.
