Sorry but I can't find the thread in which people said they had knocking noise in the steering when running over bumps.
I have the same problem when running over traffic bumps of rough terrain, this on the left hand side (LHD car), around 2002/2003 on the US (Yank) Freelander forum (at that time I was not aware this forum existed, was not at all internetspecialist as I'm still not now thus can't find the thread in question..
) I was told it might be the steering demper, the thick copper piece located on the steering column under the steering airbag, at that time I had a look at it but couldn't find anything wrong with it so I decided to live with that knocking, until I read the (for me impossible to find) thread in which a member said the pignon on the steering rack was off some 20 degrees, and another member said he checked and corrected it as well. So today I had a look at mine and the left one was off as well, don't know how many degrees but took a pic. before and after, so now I'm curious to see how things will be tomorrow morning. Before I could see the rubber bus underneath the scale at the back and after refitting the scale covers the whole rubber bush very nicely. Hope things will be ok for now. (After 9+ years ......)
