Clunking from steering wheel.

[Mendizmo]

Alright guys, I'm getting a slight knocking noise when I move my steering wheel from side to side when stationary. Sounds more from the drivers side. Also when turning a sharp corner ( not fast & not full lock but quite far) I'm getting a rattle/wobble/vibration from what feels like the steering, or wheels. I don't know as much as half of you on here, any ideas? Video from iPotato & the noise is a bit more dull & clunky than it makes out. Posted on RUK & someone mentioned the CV boot?
Cheers.

could be steering rack bushes?
I think mine are on their way out aswell.

I had steering rack in mind but wouldn't have a clue. Is there any way to be sure? Thought I'd post here before taking it to Steve & saying fix it lol.

not sure tbh.
Gonna have mine up on axle stands for a couple of days from this weekend, so I'll be investigating mine further then.
(Might also be changing the springs whilst I'm at it lol)
If you're about next week at all, more than welcome to swing it by?

Snapped spring?

Snapped spring?

Never even considered that mate. I've got 30mm ktec ones on there. Wouldn't that have made itself more known by now if it was snapped? Scared now lol

I had it on my Megane, similar symptoms. Worth a check!
