Steering Help?! Knock Knock who's there??

Does anyone have any background in this problem?

The wheel makes a noise only when I pull on in initially. I have not tried replacing the battery yet and after an alignment, the shop mentioned that nothing was loose. I have even checked myself and everything is firm in the steering so I'm not sure where the knock comes from. I also have not heard anything major when hitting any bumps or suspension flex.

Please see the video

The gap/play is in the rack itself, that's why you don't see anything outside (tie rods, bushings etc). Hit up Matt at http://nsxrackrepair.com (looks like site is dead) so here or https://m.facebook.com/NSXrackrepair/

Steering Rack Noise

I had a similar problem, but it was more of a clunking noise I could feel in the wheel, but much less dramatic than yours. I would suggest you contact Matt Lindsay, who rebuilt my steering rack. Problem solved! He is the recognized expert on this issue.

Another recommendation for Matt's services. I think it adds value to your car to say you have had the EPS rack serviced by them.
