It also "clicks" if I turn it back and forth quickly -- the dealer told me it was the lower joint where the steering column meets the steering rack, and that it will cost about $750 to replace.

Dealer says all my suspension parts are fine including ball joints and the sway bar links, and tie rod ends.

Anyone ever heard of this joint going bad?

Hi, Did you get this sorted?if so how?I got chopstick clanging at the moment and next on the list is the slight play, so need to address the issues soon
