Cause During diagnostics of a front end noise, workshop is under the impression the noise is coming from the steering gear. Remedy Workshop diagnostics point to the steering gear as the root cause of the noise and the below LI's and items have been ruled out. • LI46.35-P-067339 - \"Rattling or Humming Noise When Steering\" • LI46.35-P-071461 - \"Check Tie Rod Outer Joint of Steering Gear\" • LI46.10-P-077391 - \"Knocking Noise In The Area Of The Steering Gear or Steering Column Tube When Braking Or Moving Off; The Steering Wheel Can Also Be Felt To \"Crack\"\" • If the noise is described as \"clacking\" or \"knocking\" and the thrust element in the steering rack has NOT been checked yet, please perform a check and subsequent adjustment, if necessary, as detailed in AR46.20-P-0601ME. If the above has been completed and the noise is still present, please continue with the below: • Video underneath the vehicle with clearly audible noise. • Video inside the vehicle with clearly audible noise. • Vehicle checked for history of collisions. • List of other checked components (suspension, drive line components, wheel bearings, etc...). • Check integrity of dust boots and dust boot clamps. Ensure no water has entered into the steering rack. • Along with the audible noise, does the feel/noise change through only a certain part of the steering arc sweep? • Provide the thrust element before and after readings. If the above is completed and no findings are noted, please open a TIPS case to the Body/Chassis/Entertainment inbox.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035216-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035216-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11035216","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body
