simonwtf Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi im new to the forum, Ive had my 04 uk Z since september 08 its now done 27k no major probs, just the usual, wind noise, heavy gears and clutch, tracing paper paint, enormous smile, admiring glances etc , however the other morning when getting out of the car i turned the wheel which produced a knocking noise, turning the wheel quickly back and forth continued to produce this knocking. Concerned this might be bjoints, bearings or a rack problem, any ideas i have an extended warranty and hope im covered!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuD350z Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi All, To cut a long story short - I have the same problem! When I move the steering wheel backwards and forwards quickly when stationary it knocks The only other thing my search on this forum found was this: "steering rack pre-load adjustment", "there is a nut that holds the rack together; and its called an "end cover assembly" its under the boot; and its torque-spec is actually a range - 58.9 - 73.5nm; the tech told me on the phone that they need to increase the torque until the clicking goes away, and the play is taken out..." Has anyone got a fix yet? Any help would be really appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Same problem, knocking sound when turning wheel left and right when stationary. I got under and investigated and I think it's coming from the drivers side inner track rod. I also have a knocking rattle over the bumps which might be the same issue but I think more likely that it's the compression rod on the passengers side. Or maybe they all make a knocking sound when turning the wheel when stationary?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotun Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I've just noticed in the past week what sounds to me to be the exact same problem. Noticed it in a car park, turned the wheel back and forth near full lock and there was a definite knocking sensation/sound. Anyone got this sorted??

Jotun Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 OMG !!! How do you people drive? LOL Have you had your suspension checked? Only just noticed mine, but I think getting the suspension checked is necessary, it just feels odd and wobbly at low speeds. Now, just a matter of finding the time!!

clarkie34 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Knocking or creaking? Mine goes in on Monday for the banana bar to be replaced as the ball joint has collapsed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kazman Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 My knock over uneven roads was sorted after getting the front arbs sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazman Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Anyone solve the knocking Sound when turning the wheel left and right stationary? I think my steering is a big looser than it should be so I am wondering if it's possibly a track rod problem? When under the car and having a friend replicate the problem I thought I could feel a clunk in the inner tie rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
