Formentor VZ5, 20 000km
The car would produce a nasty click, from the drivers perspective I would describe it as wheels catching something, stopping for moment. It feels like a kick. A significant kick, you would not miss it. Sometimes just one, sometimes multiple in a row.
It happens when the wheels are fully or almost fully turned in. Doesn't matter which direction, going left, right, forwards or backwards. Pick your combo.
It started happening after it was parked for 8-10 hours. I felt it immediately.
Now hear this. Of course I am concerned and leave the car at the dealer for a check. The car sits at the facilities through the weekend. Comes Monday - all symptoms are gone. I drove it together with the head mechanic and no matter what I did, I could not repro this.
No mechanical issues found. Electronics are clean.
Video evidence of the mysterious click.
