Sign In Hi everyone. I might be shooting in the dark here, so be gentle!! The car in talking about is a SAXO FURIO 1.4i. 52 plate, with 58k on the clock. I had a car accident in dec 2009 (damage to the front left side). The insurance "fixed" it & got it back to me early jan 2010. Within days i noticed that everytime the steering wheel turned the front wheels knocked. I sent the car back in for repair to which they replaced the steering rack/mount. I only got my car back yesterday (some 4 months after they originally fixed the car!) and can STILL hear knocking on the left wheel. I've spoken with the garage today who said that their not sure if they can now fix it due to insurance regulations - what does this mean?! Where do i stand? Surely if the car was fixed properly in the first place we wouldnt be in this situation?! Can they refuse to fix it & if so, is the car dangerous to drive? Will it fail the MOT in june? I'm worried that now the Steering rack/mount has been replaced but is still broken, i'll have to fork out a lot of money from my own pocket to get it fixed to even be anywhere close to selling it on.

Sign In I can't speak for everyplace but most places I know of have an allowance for unseen damage AND a period of time which I think here in Massachusetts was once 6 months. Rules change by the hour so can't say what it is today but this does happen with collision damage, T shaunt Novice May 2, 2010, 5:28 AM Post #3 of 3 (1750 views) Re: Saxo - steering rack still noisy! Sign In the knocking sound could be a ball joint gone and depends how bad it is means how dangerous it is if it is real bad it can be very dangerous to drive but cheap to fix i never use a garage i always do it my self or get help with it   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
