| Re: Strange noise Hi Geoff , had a similar problem with my 52 plate Abarth (35000) miles last week , Dealer had a look on friday , identified a problem within the steering rack , told me it needed replacing so they ordered the part friday, fitted monday had it back on tuesday.

| | Re: Strange noise Thanks Seany, Was the column covered under warranty? As it can't be wear and tear with so few miles.

 | Re: Strange noise I just had both the steering rack and the universal joint replaced. Both under warranty. The rack alone didn't completely resolve the problem.
