Supercat Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I replaced my struts a few weeks ago. However, I'm hearing a sound whenever I turn the wheel at a slow speed (i.e. parking, turning into a driveway). The best way to describe the sound: springs compressing and stretching kind of sound. I have a feeling it's the springs. Has anyone else encountered this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grif Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Sounds like CV joints to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNSBRG Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Could be CV Joints. They usually make clicking noises. Is the sound more like clicking or sproinngg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like sproinngginngggingg...like springs stretching is the best I can describe. Well, I'm covered for CV joints in case it's that. I called Lexus to see what my extended warranty covers. Also, the tech suggested I first check the tire pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadmg7 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I have had the same problem! I have also posted on this site before, and others have told me that it might be something about the top of the struts. (Is this right everyone?)
