Default Knock in steering wheel

Have an 08 H3. Upon comming off a freeway exit and comming to a stop at end of exit,i get a slight knock in steering wheel upon braking as i turn wheel to the right. You only hear it when going slow,and seems only when turning to right? Any comments.

Take it to the dealer. My '07 had a knock and I had it at the dealer several times after buying it. Finally they determined it was something with the I-shaft and a U-joint. They replaced it with a new one and havent had a problem since.

I would feel it in the wheel as well aas the gas pedal.

i dont feel it in the pedal, its just a light pop when turned all the way to the right and going real slow, im not worried about it, i dont even really feel it through the steering wheel

Default Update

Dealer said it wasnt the I-Shaft and Joint that they think its something with the steering column, they said they are going to have to take the steering wheel off and get in the steering column to find out whats making the noise, he could feel the knock when he put his hand on top of the column, drop it off monday morning and hopefully they can figure it out and fix it all in one day. Ill let you know what they find out
