Any suggestions. Hi try the rack ends if you can get an assistant to wiggle the steering slightly from left to right whilst you hold the rack end whilst the car is on the floor [not easy I grant you] you might feel the noise you describe, the rack ends have what is like a ball joint on the inner end and the bearing surface is a nylon cup which when worn produces the noise you describe.

Crofty 1 Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi Thanks, but all these options have been explored. Been for 2 inspections, no one can explain what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint123 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I had the same issue. I took it into my local garage (who I trust) and they couldn't get to the bottom of it either. So I just ignore it 😮😮 I hope it doesn't come back and bite me in the a**e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
