    Turning at slow speed? Does it knock only with wheel in one direction or both?

    Just for starters check the pinch bolt on the joint/coupling that secures the column to the steering rack. It can be found down behind the engine. Easy enough to get at, just try and nip it up as they work loose.

    I drove mine for a while until I actually found the cause, it seemed solid enough and ok. As said though it's your choice really, and depends how far you drive as well.
    Take care whatever you do.
