Mk6 - steering knock?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I have a slight steering knock around the centre point of the steering, with the engine on and parked up, if I more the steering wheel from left to right I can hear a knock of some sort.

I have a feeling it might have been drop links or tie rod ends, however it just went through the MOT fine and asked the mechanic to specifically check those parts.

It makes me think it might either be a steering UJ or perhaps internal to the rack? Other thought could be the spring top mounts but they are only a couple of years old and it does sound like the noise is a bit lower down.

Anyone come across this before? The car doesn't feel as precise as it used to which makes me think its something that has worn slightly causing it to be less precise around centre. 

Thanks in advance!



I had something similar and it turned out the anti roll bar / sway bar bushing needed some lube, but mine didn't happen consistently when parked (generally just once until moving again) and mine is a mk7.5, so worth taking this with a few grains of salt..
