I have abit of a problem with the steering 'knocking' on my corsa c. I know the racks are big problems on these cars but i wanted some advice on if it just needs tightening or if it needs a brand new rack.
The issue is if i rock the steering wheel from left to right from the centre you can hear it knock abit. Worse is if you hit a bump in the road while driving it also knocks. I live on a road that has a cobbled surface, so it sounds like the steering wheel is going to fall off when i drive down it.
Will i need a new rack after all or is there just a bolt coming loose?

Well, heres to hoping the little 6 month warranty that came with the car when i bought it will cover the new rack. Its about 7 months out of the vauxhall warranty.

Mine did, I bought the car 3 years old with 1 extra year, didn't have to pay a penny, which was lucky as they said it would have been a few hundred quid.

we hav had a few customers come in with that problem. normally its just the bolts on the steering column that nee tightening as they work loose, this is a common problem on C's, also the UJ may be worn.
