Mine did make some horrible nosies but i had the wrong oil in it.

I now use the correct oil, 80/140 and its so much quieter

LOL at Chris with the discription of my car

mines not noisy at all.. the odd clunk on slow turns.. i went in a rwd escos with one and sounded awful banged like fook on slow turns and whyned on the move.. i guess they are all set up for different uses.. track setup ones must be tighter maybe..?
