Steering System Noise Definitions: Knock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Knock is a loose-sounding rattle or vibration generated by the steering column shaft contacting other portions of the column assembly. The noise is both audible and tactile. Knock is generated driving over cobble stones or rough pavement. It is not necessary to turn the steering wheel to create this noise.
