So the problem is: see the video.

Also, I feel pretty big beats in wheel when passing railroads or cubic stones.

I hope the steering box it's ok.
I suspect the front anti-roll bars.

Any new idea? It;s pretty damn urgent solving this, because a damaged steer can be really dangerous.

As it's a side to side movement knock then it could easily be a simple track rod end and you would feel the knock on bumps too. If you're unlucky it could be the inner track rod joint worn

Antiroll bar wear tends to be knocking on up and down suspension movements like badly made roads and nothing at all with side to side movements

Jack the car up and move the wheels vigorously side to side and look for slackness in the steering

With car on ground and engine running look for lack of movement at the wheel when moving the steering wheel side to side, stand outside and wiggle the steering through the open window

If no play on steering then it could be wishbone joint

i feel "beats" side to side moving(only when i'm standing still), and when i'm crossing over cubic stone,deep bumps, railroads...

i'm gone check lack, but the steering wheel acts OK, i don't feel lack.

I will return later with ideas from the car.

So, today's short review->NO play on steering .

I am curious if changing the steering box bush, will improve with something

Have you looked at the steering column to rack securing bolt?

Can you use a stethoscope with an open tube on the end to get closer to where the sound is loudest?

stethoscope - i can;t get one.

But i will try to find out, and check that bolt.

Thanks.

You can buy them everywhere. A toy one will do, you don't have to wear the nurse's uniform

a new video, from where the sound came:

(PS: in seconds 3-4 and 7-8 are sounds made by my phone while hitting a peddal)


and 2 pics with that bolt, but i can't see any nut(1b in Deckchair5 picture).

I did not have time to get to the mechanic, so if anyone has any idea about the problem, is welcome

Thanks

Well, first thing I would suspect is that the clamp is not tight because you have lost the nut off the bolt...

The bolt is there but there's no nut on the end to clamp it together onto the steering drive spline. If the bolt falls out and the steering column connector moves up on the shaft then you will lose control of the car's steering
I would fix that as a matter of urgency before you drive it any further

Just a thought, whilst the nut is missing and needs to be replaced immediately, I had a clicking noise on my MW when driving along, it didn't happen all the time but when putting right lock on initially but then most of the time. I found the fault - the clearence between the f/o/s brake disc and its shield had closed up so much that the lip of the disc, where rust had built up, was touching the shield. Hence there was a click on every revolution. Using a screwdriver, I 'adjusted' the clearence and now there is no clicking at all.

The noise is happening when Boyck is stationary

There's not supposed to be a nut on the pinch bolt. One side of the yoke is threaded to accept the bolt.

Loose bolt or worn universal joint(s) perhaps? Should be able to feel any movement in them while turning th steering wheel slightly with the engine off. There's another one at the top end of the shaft hidden above the steering column shroud.
.

As Davren said, i have that kind of bolt with no need of nut.

with the engine off no movement in them.

As i said previously, can be the steering box bush?

I would like to know where the problem was after going to your local garage, since I think I have exactly the same problem. It lead me to changing almost the entire suspension and the symptoms you describe didn't change at all.
By the looks of it, there's gotta be some play somewhere in this steering shaft, either from the bottom side or the steering wheel side.
I will check later on my car too.

As you said, i think i have a play on that cross, because when i'm playing with the steering wheel and putting my hands on that cross, the noise disappear about 80-90%, but i still feel the "beats" in my hand.
