Default knocking......

Tried my luck in the general section but no real joy so....

Iv got a knocking/thumping noise when I turn at slow speeds after driving for a while. It doesn't happen when Im just pottering about town, only after Ive done about 15 - 20 miles. It feels like a thumping feeling I can feel through the steering wheel

Any ideas gurus?!

Power steering rack / servo pump / hydraulic problem? The reason I say that is that you say it only happens when turning and only after the car is up to running temperatures, the pump might start to lose pressure after a while given you a knocking / hydraulic pressure loss.

I'm probably wrong but you never know...

His reply might take some time Ty,after all in the last few posts the words :- SHAFT,PUMP,RACK and JOINT have been used.
Knowing the yoof of today he's probably off in another world wondering how to plan his next move on the Laaaaadiiieeess of South Wales.

Could be anything.

Worth checking the Fan belt for quick and easy fix.

My old blue one would had a thumping when turning, turned out the belt was a little loose, it would slip a little (No squeeling) and the power stearing would pulse.

as said if not it could be a long list of things.
