Groaning noise when steering
I lowered the car a fortnight ago and there has been an groan coming from the front when steering at very low speeds such as parking etc. It seems to be getting worse. does any one have any ideas what it might be.??

problem solved.
it seems that as the spring turns in its socket it creaks. so no problem. also seems that creak decrease in noise in the wet. makes sense I suppose as dry joints creak more.
