mazda 2 - Steering faults on mazda 2 - DavidSt25

My daughters mazda 2 has developed a knocking sensation on sharp cornering, particularly at low speed.

Mazda dealer says well known problem and has regreased steering column on several occasions with only temporary effect. Independant mechanic suspects it is more serious and needs attention.

Anyone familiar with this problem?

Knocking on sharp cornering is often due to wear in the CV joints. I'd recommend an inspection by another dealer or a trusted independent.

If severe and not fixed there can be serious effects. (years ago I knew someone who was killed in an Austin 1300 as a result of front drive shaft/CV joint total failure at speed.)

Thanks for helpful reply . Was originally reported when car under warranty so should be dealt with by Mazda. Will keep trying.
