Hello everyone!

 

In recent days, my car makes this annoying noise in the steering. It does after a few minutes running. when it is cold not hear anything. Anyone ever happened and know how to fix it?

 

 

 

 

Regards from Spain

Mine has done this for years!   Perhaps tightening the U joint will help?

sounds at the right side of the car (passenger side here) above the footrest. I don´t think that the u joint can be, but I will try. thank!

good! now I don´t live there temporarily, but if you have any questions with places to visit or something like that, ask me whatever you want

Grab hold of your front right hand wheel, move it side to side.  If you look inside the wheel arch you should be able to see the steering rack at about the 10 o'clock position.  Watch and listen as this could be the source of your knocking noise.

This evening I will look it, thank Peteslag

 

I forgot to comment...the last year I change the tracks rods end but I don´t know if it is the problem

^{Not likely.  See if your steering rack has any play, it is as good as any a place to start.}

Hi mate, no I think that my steering doesn´t has play, works perfect, but with noise again

 

It is very disappointing, Drive the car for fun and listen to that infernal noise

Hi Buddy,

 

There are 4 screws holding your steering rack onto the chassis. You can find these screws in the cabin, 2 just behind the pedals and the other 2 are over your footrest (different sizes, maybe 13 and 17...) Try to loosen them up a little bit (don´t need to remove the screws) and them re-tighten them fully.

Thank

 

I´ll try it
