Hello
When I am driving on bumpy tracks etc the rattling coming up my steering column and underneath my feet is very loud like things are loose. I replaced the steering rack bushes for powerflex a while back which tightened up the steering but I hate this rattling. Could this be something to do with the rubber couplings in the steering system? Has anyone changed them and noticed a quietening in their steering system?
Thanks

I had the same thing and it was my universal joint at fault
