GC8 steering wheel rattling vibrating

[alunian]

Hi The steering wheel is making a vibrating rattling noise which gets worse when it is turned or when accelorating hard, the noise sounds like it is coming from behind the speedometer, Ive had the speedometer out and checked for anything that could be loose and its all tight. The noise does sound like a loose screw. The other thing I have noticed is the car has started to drift left at high speeds since the noise started. I've also checked the gromet for the steering rack which is still in good condition. Any ideas what is?

I've got it booked in to be checked next week and the mechanic suspects its the powersteering rack.

Thanks in advance

I've been to 2 garages, one said power steering rack but he never put it on the lift or sat in it, I just explained everything. The other mechanic put it on the lift and inspected everything and couldn't find the problem and said the power steering is working perfectly, he even drove it but there was no noise, he then told me to wait until the noise gets worse then bring it back.
