   theres a nocking when i change direction and every so often the steering goes really heavy, then nocks and goes back to normal. I thought it could be the powersteering pump playing up but then my mate reckons it could be my top mount bearing?
   
   just wondering if you have any idea's
   
   i know its not cv or balljoint related
   
   cheers dan

   Try going to a car park and doing full lock. If it knocks then its the driveshafts.

   i have the same problem, have recently found out it could be a problem with the coilspring being mounted the wrong way, could also be shafts as said above though

   Earlier I checked the top mount securing bolts in the bay an they were finger tight, steerings loads better but still has the faint knock it only knocks once per direction change though
