Heard a knock in the front when turning at slow speed and is consistent when turning steering wheel while stationary. Dropped into dealer who looked at it straight away. Said there is a bearing at the top of the strut that is wearing. Said its ok to drive as it will not harm anything and will fix at 30000 service in 4600 kms. If it gets noisier he said come on straight away though.

Might be overkill for my needs. Would be fairly expensive I imagine.

Cheapest is the strut gets replaced by warranty.
Replacing 1 OEM strut may be cheap considering the number lying around here from people who have upgraded to coils.

But well worth it me thinks.

I am considering the coil over option quite seriously at the moment. I will have to try and find some reputable brands to compare prices. What's the peoples choice here on ccj
