Hi everyone, I have noticed whenever my 996 is cold, putting the wheel over full lock and going back or forwards gives a big knocking noise at the wheels that can be felt at the steering wheel. This goes away when the car warms up. This started about a month ago, and is really starting to get on my nerves. Haven't had the chance to take it to the dealer yet, but wondered if anyone else has had anything similar or maybe knows what could be causing it. Thanks Scott. Migration info.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

C4 or C2? Migration info. Legacy thread was 24578
It is a 1998 C2. I am starting to suspect low Power Steering Fluid, (though I can't check it at the mo, as I am in Zurich, and my car is at Gatwick). Do you think that this could cause these problems? (After the Power steering pump suggestion, I noticed some people with other motors on the net that had similar probs from low fluid levels).
