Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I have a slight bump or clunk in my steering column when I turn it ever so slightly left or right. It isn't very loud, mainly I feel it. Anyone else experienced this. Didn't see anything in a previous thread. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

I only get it when the car is cold and I am turning the wheel with the car standing still. It seems to be fairly common w/ 987's.....

POST 3Original post

Mine happened when the car was warm but it was relatively cool out. Well, cool for Florida. It was in the mid 50's. Being from midwest, I understand that is not really cool. I have a month left on my factory warranty. Should I have it checked out?

POST 4Original post

Check out the FAQ section - "noise when reversing" actually covers this. It appears that other folks have a similar issue. Apparently an idiosyncrasy of the car.

POST 5Original post

i had the same problem. Known defect. They had to re torque the steering knuckle (have no idea what that is). Easy fix. The problem is gone now,

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
