Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a bit of advice.
I have a Seat Leon Cupra 300 ST 4Drive (2020). 53k miles
I originally had a creaking noise over bumps from the front suspension and humming noise. Since then I've had the following work carried out
All 4 wheel bearings replaced (FAG)
Both outer track rod ends replaced
Both front shock absorbers replaced (Monroe)
Both front top mounts and bearings replaced (NTN-SNR)
Four-wheel alignment completed
Both from bushes
The garage also checked the drop links and suspension bushes and said they were all fine.
The good news is the original creaking over bumps has completely gone and the car now drives smoothly.
However, I've noticed there's still a slight rubbery creak/groan when turning the steering wheel close to full lock (left or right).
It seems to come from the left-hand front, although it happens when turning in either direction.
It's not a metallic knock or clunk, and the steering feels completely normal. The noise only seems to happen while turning at low speed.
Has anyone else experienced this on a Leon Cupra? If so, what turned out to be the cause?
Thanks in advance.
I have attached video
Also top mount and shocker replaced today got back with 4 wheel alignment 24/07/26
