This is an issue that covers a few models with this type of steering coupling at the column. There is some discussions about the issue online that I read about after encountering it. I am a qualified mechanic of 20+ years experience and inspecting the column and the issue I found the sliding section of the column binds that tranlates as a clunk on steering. To fix this requires only some lubricant down the shaft, silicone spray is a lquid that can run down the shaft and will dry and adhere to the surface and stop the binding and remove the knock. It also makes the light steering off centre slightly smoother as the binding causes and irregular sensation of tension at the steering wheel. No parts to replace or remove.
