Subject:Mystery cable (?) sound
From:Neil2
Date:Tue, 6 Sep 2016 09:37:37 -0700

I just completed a 2,200m trek in my '90 Westy and other than a few holes
hit too fast on an asphalt road it went without any undue wear and tear.
Noticed yesterday that when I start from a dead stop (99% OTT) and just
this morning while making a left turn into a parking space at slow speed I
hear what sounds like a cable catching or popping past something it catches
on.  I did use the emer brake one overnight on an incline (rearward) with a
sleeper above and below but nothing seemed amiss the next morning.  When
the rain slows I will examine all cables I can find belowdecks but wondered
if anyone recognizes the symptoms.  I am not comfortable with them knowing
they could portend trouble involving safety.

Please/Thanks!
