Has anyone else managed to get a fix out of Peugeot for this problem? I have a 1.2vti allure and am experiencing the same problems. It seems to have started around the 3000 mile mark. On an uneven road surface there is a very noticeable knocking noise coming from what sounds like the passenger side. It varies though and sometimes it sounds like its coming from the whole front end. Other times the knock can sound like a loud creeking noise. If I have passengers in the car it gets really bad, turning the steering wheel produces the noise, uneven road surfaces produce the noise, crawling at slow speeds is terrible. It is like a loud knock/creeking that doesn't seem to go away.
Could it be anything else or is is 100% the steering plate?
