Creaking when turn steering wheel right 360 degrees at acces

Not sure if this is a new noise or something I've just never noticed until this morning. When driving up through the levels of a ncp car park with suspension locked at access height I heard what I can only describe as a creaking sound once I've went through a full 360 degree turn of the wheel. Tested at normal height and the noise is there but in no way as profound. Only seems to be when turning right.

Tried stopping the car and just turning the wheel and again, the noise is there but not as bad as driving ~10mph and turning. It gets worse if I'm turning at the top or bottom of the ramps on each level.

No lights or warning messages.

Anyone got any ideas before it goes back to the $tealers....?

Worn or Creaking Bushes maybe....when in Access Height the geometry is different and emphasises the problem

Interesting, I renewed my LR warranty just the other week and as part of it a full inspection is done, surely something like ball joints would have been picked up?

They replaced the nearside rear rose bush and ultimately the hub it sits in as that was picked up as having a bit of play and required doing before I could take the warranty out so they obviously look at suspension as part of that inspection.....

I had something similar, turned out to be the top mount on the LHS - I removed the top cap and sprayed some WD40 around the top bearing and it went away instantly.

Not sure if this is your problem, but a quick 2 mins with some WD40 is worth a try Thumbs Up Stolen / Gone: 2006MY Supercharged LPG Autobiography - Zambezi Silver with Sand/Jet/Jet Oxford Leather.....

Thanks
