Technical Abarths steering knock noise at linkage?

[Athos]

Do all the Stilo 2.4 Lts make a knocking noise at steering linkage?
Mine is doing that noise down the linkage beyond the U-joint where it leaves cockpit, odd thing is that we revised a one brand new Schumacher at show room and has the same knocking noise!
Is that normal, is it inherent to the steering design?
Or could it be a bad batch of steering racks?

There was a recall on the abarth with the early racks so I would get it checked out

Yes I know about the recall thats why it worries me, but after a close inspection at dealer's garage and after a consult to Fiat they say nothing is wrong
We checked other two Schumachers today (50 & 570 Kms on them) and both have the same noise, I don´t think any car should have a clicking noise at the steering linkage or at rack, so now I´m a little confused about it.
So I would like to know if any one with a late series ('06) Abarth have the same noise.

Mine has done this since new, 2006 GP now with 17k.

Infact it's starting to dirve me up the wall, when ever i pull on and off my drive it clunks. Can't be normal but dealer has looked at it with no resolution.

Any advice would be appreicated,
