I have a citroen xsara Picasso and it has started to make knocking noise from the wheel when car turns left or right. Has anyone else had same problem?

Yes, several Citroen Xsara Picasso owners have reported a similar knocking noise from the wheel when the car turns left or right. This issue has been attributed to a faulty steering rack. The steering rack is a crucial part of the vehicle's steering system, responsible for transmitting the driver's steering inputs to the front wheels. When it becomes faulty, it can produce abnormal sounds and affect the car's handling and safety.

According to user accounts and experiences shared online, the knocking noise typically occurs at low speeds, particularly during tight turns or when the steering wheel is turned to its maximum position. Some users have also reported feeling vibrations in the steering wheel or a slight loss of control while turning.

Citroen, the manufacturer of the Xsara Picasso, has acknowledged this issue and has released repair guidelines to address the faulty steering rack. If your Xsara Picasso is experiencing this knocking noise, it's recommended to take it to an authorized Citroen dealership or a trusted mechanic to have the steering rack inspected and repaired as necessary. Timely repair and maintenance of the steering system are essential to ensure your safety and the car's performance on the road.
