ManwithSupra Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi All, Very recently I have developed a slight steering knock when the car is stationary and when you move the steering wheel left and right You get an audible knock and you feel it on the steering wheel and very lightly in the foot well. I have got under the car and got my wife to rock the front wheels and I can only feel and hear this knock on the steering rack itself and none of the other components such as the Hub, wheel, suspension arms upper and lower, drop links, ARB, sub frame etc. I am thinking what it could be really and if anyone else has had this issue. If it requires the replacement of the rack then thats not a problem, so if any traders on here reading this could you quote me a cost of a new rack please (PM me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 classic symptom from the front lower wishbone bolts. Mine had this very loud clunk, especially on full lock Take out, clean up, lightly grease, & re-torque. No more knocking:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thats what i thought but there is no movement that i can see or feel when i held onto the other suspension components when the wheel was turned, the knock feels like it is on the rack itself. May have to take it to a garage to see what they think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 when we did mine, you couldn't see any movement in the arm/pivot, but with someone else rotating the steering wheel, when touching the bolt you could feel it 'knock' Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
