pipsyp Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Noticed on the way back from collecting our Alphard that there is ever such a slight knock from the steering column when turning either way from dead ahead. No issues when driving but noticable at slow speeds/maneuvering. Its done 77k miles so not particularly high and has been cared for. Is this a fairly common thing? Hoping its not new rack territory!

If you bought privately ..... Lee, Will the steering need re-aligning ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee, Will the steering need re-aligning ? Yeah private purchase, I got taken for a test drive in it but only something you'd notice driving for yourself. TBF its 15 years old so theres always going to be something! It could use 4 good tyres and an allignment anyway (and is due a service fairly soon) so it'll probably all get done in one hit.
