Hi all,
Just wondered if somebody could please offer me some advice. So I bought my Golf GTI Edition 30 around 4 months ago now. All ran fine up until last month I noticed a slight knocking noise when moving the steering left to right when stationary. The steering also had a dead feel around the centre and was generally a lot more vague than when I first bought the car. After having all the bushes and ball joints inspected and coming back ok, I opted to have a new steering rack put. The new steering rack has cured the knocking noise from left to right, however there is still a great deal of deadness in the centre and doesn’t feel half as good as it did when I first bought it. Any other ideas what this could be? The last place I could think of is the UJ joints in the column but wouldn’t have thought these failing was common
