I dont understand why worm and roller steering boxes are not used.They were used in many American full sized cars.The hour glass worm gear gave more stability when driving straight upto a point the driver turns the steering wheel by quarter circle or 90 degrees and there after smooth like butter to manouever and comes back to the original position when left. The rack and pinion is rigid and stable through out and requires power assistance,why is this being used. Recirculating ball mechanism is smooth as long as the balls are intact and in place. If the screws that hold the U tubes through which the balls circulate come off it can be disastrous.I dont know why manufacturers are stereotyped in thinking.

I have a 2009 Mazda 2TS2, when I turn right I get a rattling noise, this doesn’t apply when I turn left, the garage I go to said it’s not a real problem and the car is safe to drive, could I have your opinion please, the car is 11 years old and has approx. 56,000 miles on the clock, thanks for your time
