Manoeuvring on full lock (at very low speed) should not do any harm to the car should it, Paul? I pretty much do this via a three point turn every time I drive away from home. :?

P.S. Good to see the 'old school' avatar back. 🏁

I guess not (manoeuvring) but you are putting max strain on everything....which at my age I prefer to avoid...😂😂

Does this sound like its soley down to colder tyres and harder rubber or a fault?
every managed to get an answer from OPC on this?

Actually disappeared when I replaced my wheels with my winter set with winter tyres. Tyres much softer and didn’t skitte r sideways. OPC promised this would be the case.

If it's banging rather than just the scrubbing of the tyres at full lock, it's almost certainly the start of a transfer case problem/failure. It probably goes away with smaller/narrow winter tyres as they generally have less grip and put less strain on the transfer case.

Try putting the car in off-road mode when it's warm and reversing slowly on full lock, if you here a banging/knocking, it's almost certainly the start of a transfer case problem.
