Strange moaning noise from right front end.
I am experiencing an occasional *very occasional* noise from the front end - sounds like it's coming from the wheel/suspension/brake on the passenger front side. It *only* occurs at very very low speeds, like from 5-0 mph pulling into a parking space. It sounds like a moaning, yawning, or groaning kind of noise, not metallic, not grinding, more like a sonic vibration. Hard to describe, I know.
Without hearing the noise, dealer could only suggest a bushing from sway bar or suspension, or brakes. It is not, however, the usual brake squeal - this isn't that high pitched. Only lasts two or three seconds and then doesn't happen again for a couple of days ...
ANY IDEAS??? I'm lost.

No, not at rest, but those last 2 seconds from 5mph down to 0 when parking/stopping
Think it's power steering related? It does NOT happen when pulling straight to a stoplight, but only when TURNING into a parking spot ...

I'd check PS fluid and STFA on replacing the steering column
Though that might not be it. It kind of sounds like CA's but not if it doesn't do it while you are at rest. This is perplexing. . .
