Noise when steering

[GV08]

Hi,

I have the new GV 08 1.6. From day 0, I have noticed a noise coming from the steering system under the following conditions:

1. Having turned the steering wheel fully on the left or on the right
2. Having a low speed
3. Driving off-road

If you drive off-road without turning left or right there is no noise.

the noise is a vibration-like sound, something like two metals hitting each other coming from the steering system.

I have checked with the official suzuki mechanics and they have replaced so far the suspension system and the steering rack. The noise is still there.

Any ideas?

Is it possible for the noise to come from the coil of the suspension (if for example it's lazy on following the turn of the suspension and turns a little bit slower causing a 'clank' noise when returns to its expected position)?

Or is ti possible to come from the the steering shaft, cause I feel some vibrations on the steering wheel as well.

Thank you
