Strange "popping" sound at low speed

[Retry]

Hi all,

Recently bought a 2003 VY II and I've noticed that when I'm starting to slow down I hear a strange popping sound coming from what sounds like the dash/wheel area - any ideas as to what this could be?

The sound itself is quite faint but can still be heard quite easily if there is no other background noise (and since discovering the noise, I noticed I can't stop bloody hearing it!!)

Any help is appreciated

The series 1 VY's had a history of noisy steering racks...

Not sure but it could be the same problem i had, get a friend to turn your wheels for you amd look under the engine bay. Look at where the top of the strut is, where that big rubber ring is and just see if that is grippig up on the metal?
