Weird Noise

Ok - so ever since I got this car 2 months ago...I've been learning and adjusting.

Took it in for service, oil change, overall inspection....etc.

Almost every time I start the car...put it in reverse...then back into drive...i hear a weird "sproing" sound. It sounds like a spring that has just sprung.

Any thoughts?

I'm used to the electro-mechanical power steering...but this seems like front suspension or something else.

Thanks

Give us more info about the car (year, mileage, stock or lowered, etc.).

That noise is probably the ABS self-check actuating. It's normal.
