Steering Issue
Has anyone noticed a slight looseness/knock in the steering at slow speeds going over small bumps, such as tar strips at slow speeds?
This can be noticed most when slowing or stopping for a red light. The issue can even happen backing out of the garage when the front wheels transition from the garage floor to the driveway.
There seems to be play in the steering rack or a bushing somewhere and would like to know if anyone else has noticed this.

I'm starting to feel this also. i have the steel spring suspension. i felt this on my gl550,2010. the tech felt it was in the strut. i hate it, i want to trade it in already because of this. even though it is very slight..
