Grinding noise when turning the steering wheel....

Noticed this last week that when stationary and you turn the wheel left or right i get a grinding noise.

Just wondering if anoyone else has had similar and knows a possible cause.

Thinking it may be the steering rack on the way out or it just needs a bit of lubricating.

Got her booked in for a service this week, but now it looks like it could be a very expensive day in the garage!

Mine does this too. Think it's just a "feature" of some cars

Mine does first thing when car is cold then is quiet when warm

But mines just started last week.
noticed it again when reverse parking just a few minutes ago.

Don't really like the noise and need it gone!

Will update once i've been to the garage and they've had a good looky

Noticed mine doing the same today and only just started doing it too, my mk4 did the same. I was wondering if this spell of hot weathers dried something out maybe

what did they do with the top mount?

I would asume they changed/replaced it!

I've noticed this grinding noise when ever I turn right, but at a slow pace like parking etc... Will be off to Autohaus to get it checked!
