Steering rack knocking

[evan4607]

I had my rack and pinion replaced and now I hear this exact noise when I jiggle the wheel back and fourth when in park. So what could the problem be? I've taken it back and they said they don't hear anything.

So what was it ? did you need to replace the entire rack ? mine is doing the same thing .

HAHAHA! zippy0099, best comment ever.

hard to say doesn`t look like inner tie rod to me.rather loose rack in its mounting points.

Sounds like something I got on my subaru. Is this dangerous? I thought it was a ball joint, nope. When I turn right and straighten out it pulls right, when I turn left it pulls left. What do you experts think? Agghhh!

on the bottom of the rack and pinion there is a stop big nut on a adjusting bolt pull the stop nut and addjust it then lock it

[pontiac2]

what car is this?

[HeavyChevyK10]

Steering racks are shit. slightest bit of wear and they are so noisy when goin over bumps at slow speed. Just not durable enough.

Seems like you've isolated it already. The technique of violently attempting to shake a wheel from side to side while the car is lifted, is a common test of a tight system.

[italian316]

if you move your tire side to side or shake  with your hand ahh car lift up you can make that noise more easy

Thank you, on what car is this occurring?
