Groaning sound from suspension 99 S80 T6

Post by dcarlson12 »

99 S80 T6 approx. 130,000 miles
Noticeable but not intolerable groaning sound coming from the front suspension when make relatively sharp turns in parking lot. Don't have to turn to the stops for the noise to occur. Doesn't happen all the time. Seems more likely when the weather is around 20 degrees C i.e. approx. 70 degrees F.
IIRC the previous owner had spring seats replaced already once.
Could that still be the sound?
I supposed I could video and car along with the sound if that would help.
Would I just upload the video or do I have to upload to Youtube and then provide a link?
