hello everyone, here's a question.... something strange and not easy to find haunts my van.
I have a 2000 fiat ducato 1.9D. There is sometimes a strange noise from my steering gear. Especially in a left turn I seem to hear a kind of soft rattling sound. Can best be described as when there's some wrong with ball bearing, or wheelbolts not pulled alle the way. But they are all okay.
There is nothing loose, wheels have recently been aligned and the adjustment technician could not find anything. Sometimes when I turn my steeringwheel left to right and right to left I hear a 'ploink' like sound, as if something is shifting over an irregularity. what could this be?
 
Sorry, not an answer coming from me but sympathy and interest. I will be watching this thread as my 2000 2.8jTd is acting upon uphill climbs with right and left turns. The "noise" you describe is similar. Let's see where this goes, I hope for an answer for both of us.

Wishing us luck!
