YES!!! I get this problem, you go into a carpark in access, park in the pace and when you reverse out usually right hand down just before full lock you get a nasty groaning sound from the suspension/steering. I have reported this to my dealer who said they had fixed it .... like hell

sounds more serious than something rubbing needing grease.... more of a crunching noise .... could it be a different issue or is this a definite fix I need to get the dealer to sort next time Im in?..... also.... wont this just be a temporary measure and the problem will return once grease has rubbed off??? if so surely it need an engineering fix?
sorry for all the questions but Ive had 18 months of hell with this vehicle and the dealer

Its a regular maintenance thing. Grease mine every couple of months, just a smear of grease is all it takes.

Me too!
Hi,
Just joined and got my '06 D3 and very chuffed with it. I too have this problem and have just greased the areas mentioned, all OK now but I'm off to the dealer for a 'proper' fix in the next few weeks
cheers
