Unusual Sounds

[LP610NJ]

The other when I was driving I noticed a whistling sound coming from the front end but it would go in and out but only would happen between 63-66mph. I also had the storage upfront loaded. The road was perfect so it wasn't road noise. Also whenever I turn sharply at low speed it feels like the car is jumping around up front. The steering jerks back and forth. I thought it was because of the 4 wheel drive system but it still happens when i'm in cross which apparently puts all the power to the rear wheels 100%

Corsa+low speed makes no diff... AWD baby. Have you never owned a AWD or 4WD before?

Yes, never had anything like this before though

I suspect that you are hearing gear whine from the front diff. While driving at a constant speed (neutral throttle), back off the throttle very slightly and see if the noise goes away momentarily.

Regarding your second concern, it's the front end steering geometry. The front tires will scrub sideways in tight turns - combine this with low-profile tires with lots of grip and the tires will hop. I saw the same thing with my Gallardo, yet when I put my snow tires on for the winter the problem completely goes away (the winter tires have a more compliant tread and will slide rather than hop).

Thank you very much. Explains so much
