Clio 197 Steering knocks

[lewisflintham]

Does anyone know what's causing this on the video? As you'll be able to hear, there's a klunk/knock from the steering when moved back and forth. It sounds to me like something's wrong with the steering lock. I've taken the covers off but can't seem to get at the lock or anything (I was gonna spray some grease in it). It's key-less go by the way, just in case this might make a difference. Any ideas? Thanks.

Did you find out what it was as i think I have the same issue?

Check the pinch bolt is correctly tightened.
Is the noise from inside the car or can you hear it outside as well?
is it a recent issue ? Any work recently?

Mine started doing the same after the exhaust manifold was changed. Horrible noise!

Is that easy/costly to fix?

different sound to what i think, i would check all subframe bolts are tight and then rack to subframe bolts.
the lower UJ joint which is down by the carpet wears and knocks get down by the carpet and listen
its just where it bolts to the rack. you buy the lower shaft. i think there about £90 quid
