Hi,

I went out and checked last night, and the steering rack feels tight to the chasis - I could not replicate what I did the other day which makes me question what I did to discover what I was sure was some movement. Although last night I checked with both wheels on the ground, which would keep things much more taught - I need to do it with both wheels in the air to really check.

Anyway, my problem is that when the engine is off and I wiggle the wheel, I get that infamous clunk in the steering system.

But much worse than that, when the engine is on (i.e. power steering system running) and I turn the wheel, I feel the wheel ever so slightly catch on something as I turn it. Its like a series of catch/release/catch/release/catch/release in quick succession as the wheel is turning. It almost feels like the wheel is kicking back as you turn it. You can feel the same thing when driving too, but its faint unless you're on very smooth road. Can't hear anything over the engine noise but can feel it.
