Default rattle in steering wheel?

I am slowing sorting out my 91 Turbo.

I can feel a slight rattle in the steering wheel when steering left to right...
Like something is loose?

thoughts?

There was a recall on some 964's for a universal joint in the steering column that can create a clicking sound. Not all cars were affected but it is worth checking out if your car is one of them. Recall AT07

I have replaced the shaft and knuckle. Sound is gone.
No recall on the part, however i am told it could be due to the fact that porsche didnt grease them from new?

Now i am onto the the leaky steering rack.
