[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 218983, member: 113"] It could be any number of things that connects your hand to the chassis of the car, meaning steering, tie-rod, lower arm bush, ball joint, suspension bush, etc etc. Should be straightforward to check for signs of cracks at all the bushes involved. The mechanic usually pushes all parts involved to see which part is loose. The last time a friend has symptoms almost similar to yours, it turned out to be lower arm bush. Juddering when braking in straight line could also be brake discs. Could be different symptoms for multiple problems. This can be a matter of injecting grease to the steering rack connection, located deep inside the engine bay. The sound/vibration travels up the rack into your hand. No free play means your rack is in good condition. Maybe just recond it so it does not leak anymore. But check your bushes first. You are right, eliminate the simpler possibilities before doing expensive recond or part replacement. [/QUOTE]
