Experience: ASE Master Certified Automobile Technician. 30 Years Experience.
VerifiedHi There, I'm Clayso a certified master automobile technician with 30 years of automotive repair and diagnostic experience.
From your description sounds like the lower steering column coupling is the source of the noise. In October 2002 Jaguar issued a technical service bulletin concerning steering rack knocking or rattling. The bulletin involves replacing the coupling with a revised rubber coupling and replacing the power steering return line.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions let me know. You can reply back to me through this thread at any time.
Kindly rate my assistance in a positive manner so I may have credit for helping you.
Positive ratings are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
