    RRS or D4 steering wheel clunky rattle when driving slow

    Hi Guys,

    Chasing a noise in my steering column. Its a low pitch rattle, the car is well maintained, 175kms, new struts compressor LCA etc a year ago.

    Recently inspected and specialist couldn't find anything wrong with it. Although this noise is only heard when you hit a speed bump etc, at low speed. I can feel it through the column...been here for about 2 months

    Any help would be appreciated

    Cheers
    Jeremy

    Have you checked the power steering fluid level? It gets pretty dirty, a full flush and top up with new fluid might make a difference. Otherwise it could be the steeringbox itself, especially if you're getting shudder through the column.

    A uni joint in the lower steering column is known to fail/seize, Disco3 thread linked below:
    DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Steering stiff - New lower column fitted with guide

    Other possibility would be tie rods ends.
