slight knock on steering column, should I be really worried?


Recommended Posts

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 from a dealer, take it back and have them fix it.

 

If you bought privately  .....

 

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.
