Good afternoon all,
I have a 2022 L4060LE with ~65 hours on it.
I recently noticed a gurgling/crackling noise coming from the front steering rack. It’s present when turning the wheel from stopped and when moving. I lifted the front off the ground and the noise is less noticeable, so it’s dependent on pressure the cylinder is having to exert. It sounds like loud rice crispies in milk if that makes sense
.
I originally thought it was air in the system after the 50 hour service, but should have purged out by now. I also checked fluid level and it’s good as well as no obvious leaks up front.
It could also be something else in the steering, but seems isolated to the hyd system and steering rack.
I was hoping someone had some thoughts on this before taking to the dealer.
I took a video, but it’s not easily picked up on the recording due to engine running. I’ll see if I can get it posted.
