Okay. well my car has been doing this for a while. I have new inner and outer tie rod ends so please dont suggest that as the problem. The shop doesn't know either. I think it is either the actual internals of the steering rack or the joint coming off of the shaft of the steering wheel.

Or is it a normal dsm thing. (quick run outside and check if your 2g does this LOL)

Anyway, when I take a corner hard I can feel the steering wheels kind of shuttering. There is no play at all and the car functions fine. I just would like to get rid of the noise and the clunky feel if there is a way. Thanks.

Here's the vid.

edit: I know the vid is shitty LOL. It was taken from my phone.
 
is it possible its a wheel bearing? does it do it turning both left and right? because if just one way it would make sense for one of your wheel bearing to be bad or going bad. good luck!
 
Sounds like a rail road track when a train is going over. I would suspect it would be a loose hydrolic shaft in the rack,
 
hahaha Scott.

update: I got an alignment done today and the shop said it was normal and most cars have that noise when the powersteering isn't on? I don't know. Hopefully someone has the answer soon :)
