Check that the steering gear bearing in the boot has not detached from the boot.

If it has become detached apply a little grease to the edge of the boot (around the hole). Press the bearing back down into the boot. See arrow in illustration.

NOTE:

Check that the rubber boot is positioned correctly in the bodywork. Adjust if necessary.

There is a risk that noise from the gearbox or engine and road noise may enter the passenger compartment.
