ST0RMF0RCE 10 Posted May 4, 2012 hey - got a knocking coming up through clutch pedal and steering wheel - my mechanic is fairly certain it is the knuckle joint on the steering rack (please excuse ignorance - I am only quoting mechanic ! ). Cant go up on ramp for about a week so thought I would try to get one sorted just in case - trying to build a supply of spares before I move to Spain with the 'rado. So, if anyone has one for sale - cash waiting.... I presume these joints are fairly universal to corrado's etc - mines is a vr6 conversion from a 2.0 16v... Thanks for looking, STORMFORCE, Pete.

davidwort 0 Posted May 4, 2012 unlikely to be the universal joint from the rack to the bottom of the steering column (which is what the description of the part sounds like from your 'mechanic') hard to tell from your description, but the clutch pedal/pedal box is attached to the bulkhead, and the rack is on the subframe, bolted lower but nearby so it could be any number of things. has he checked: steering rack tie rods (inner and outer joints) suspension top mountings wishbone bushes anti roll bar mounts and links engine mountings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RMF0RCE 10 Posted May 4, 2012 hey - thx for reply - we have had quick look but up on the ramp proper next friday - there is play in the steering wheel too - just trying to stay a step ahead because ramp time is a bit precious atm with my mechanic.... peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 4, 2012 Bottom ball joint failure can cause this - you need to check it with a big prybar while the steering is on lock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
