jamieherd 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've recently had new konigsport coilys, powerflex bushes, track rod ends, arb links, top mounts and bearings, ball joints and a 4 wheel alignment done but there is still a knock when i turn the steering wheel from left to right or vice versa. After reading up a bit on this website and listening to where the knock is coming from i reckon its the Universal joint on the steering rack that has a little play on it. How easy is the universal joint to replace? and where can i buy one from? Link to post Share on other sites

Bigjobbo 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Is it knocking that loudly? Try greasing it up see if it gets quieter, try to single it out. Pinion play in the rack can cause a knock, also check track rod ball joint play (inner) see if there is play. Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Is it a continuous knock when turning the wheels or just one knock?Do you get it when moving or changing gear? Link to post Share on other sites
jamieherd 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 It's loud enough to hear whilst the car is on the move. The knock is a one off whist turning from left to right or vice versa. The noise is defo coming from the rack area. Just hoping it's not gonna be a new rack job!!!Found this threadhttp://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?240136.0Sounds similar to my problem. Link to post Share on other sites
