Rattle/ looseness in the steering when hitting small to medium bumps.
#41
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I am having this same issue as well. I am experiencing this same "clunk" that feels like its coming from the top part of the steering column between the wheel and the tilt mechanism. I only feel it when driving over a sharp obstruction in the road like a reflector or speed bump. Has anybody found a solution in these past 3 or so years?

There is a part in the steering wheel called the dynamic damper that could be your problem. Here is a link to a thread where a guy fixed his and took pictures.

I have actually been driving without that damper installed for the last few weeks thinking it was the issue. Nope, issue is still present. It sounds like its between the spiral cable and the tilt mechanism.
