knock with steering

i have a knock from steering but its only when moving and turning at the same time, i used to have a similar problem with fiesta (mk6) an ford could never find the problem on it, now i have the knock on this ive just left it as everything has worked fine.

check that the strut top mounts are tight could be the steering rack if it happens when stationary as under most load when still!

Steering column top bearing, pain in the arse to change but is common (ish) on the Mk3's.

it would be more noisey in **** pit if it was the stering colum?? yer bolts that would hold strut brace on 3 13mm. jack the front of the car up and see if you can still hear noises! if you can still hear knocking then its something knocking like droplinks ect or steering rack or maybe steering collum bearing like craig said

waranty is a lovely thing just had two new headlamps because of the flaming condensation looks so much better with out that in both headlamps!"!!! and had turbo gasket done to! all free thank god for warranty but shouldnt go wrong in the first place

mine sometime makes a bang sound when on ful lock stoped then pulling of not sure what it was but dosent do it much

driveshaft??

dont know what it is could be drivshaft or maybe droplinks on the arb hitting something

have you got any modification on the front arb, spacers, droplinks ect???

nope nothing only suspention mod is strut brace

the way you describe when it happens it sounds like it could be a driveshaft check your tracrod end rubber boot and nut could be split and knocking

only does it once a blue moon but ill have a look around it soon as im loking at getting suspention in jan maybe feb!

could just be the common spring clunk tho??? you going coilovers ??? fully recommend it

nope koni sport kit get it through work front lowers fine with just 35mm drop and as long as back sits bit lower it will do me

will you be putting it on yourself?? save loads of money doing it that way

back i could do as its simple but front would need tracking and everything doing but can get it done at work for about 30 or 40 quid will see near the time did you do yours yourself then.
as for the creak i think it could be the spring as its just as you pull of so as the car jolts forward slightly

My 2004 FR has done it since about 6000miles, its been in the dealers to get fixed 3 times and its never been fixed properly and just keeps returning.

The first time they said they had changed some sort of bush.
Apparently it was a common fault.

Its been in 2 more times and apparently there is nothing wrong with it!

I think they think I am imagining it!
