Knocking noise in steering wheel?

Post by mearnsy »

When travelling over bumps I have a slight knocking which appears up be coming from the steering wheel or below. I haven't looked into it yet due to busy at work but would welcome any thoughts on this.

Rack bushes ? Broken drop link ? Worn anti-roll bar bushes ? Worth checking sooner rather than later.

Take lower steering wheel/shaft cowel off and there is a rubber joint near bottom of the shaft. It has two pins that go into the rubber, the holes go oval and then knocks when going over bumps... :wink:
Mmm what's that strange smell from my exhaust...
