Knocking steering - any advise, please
At the last MOT of my 2000 2.0 Cabrio, I had a warning that the top steering
mounts were showing signs of play. I'm now getting a knocking from the steering when turning from lock to lock and at low speeds. The car had a new steering rack 20k ago, so I'd like to think it's not that. Would worn top mounts cause the noise? Any other hints as to what it might be? Advice and thoughts greatly appreciated. -- WolfWilf Cardiff, UK

If so, CV joints a strong possibility.

No, the knocking comes as I turn the wheel - it's more of a loud clicking, really - maybe 8 or 9 irregular clicks as I turn the wheel. I can't hear anything as I move without actually turning the steering wheel.

I can't hear anything as I move without actually turning the steering wheel. Could be the top mounts then, yes. Check the spring seats too.
