Odd noise when turning steering

[964kevin]

Seems I have just developed an odd noise when rotating the steering wheel, it sounds like a spring slipping in the seat on the front suspension, I've had a look underneath, and rotated the wheels, tried to pull on them to see if anything is loose, but nothing out of the ordinary. It feels ok, drives straight, and doesn't clonk when driving, like a CV joint would.
Is there anything else I need to look for?

TIA.

Broken spring would be my first guess, might be broken right at the top and clunking against the top mount

Possible, I tried jacking the car up, and its gone when the load is reduced on the wheel/Tyre, but nothing fell out.....

Thanks, had hoped not, but as under warranty, lets see what they say.

I had my top mounts and both front springs (one spring was cracked) changed under warranty so you should be ok
