Vehicle experiences knocking in the steering column at low speeds/stationary when turning the steering wheel clockwise and counter clockwise. This knocking symptom is amplified when vehicle travels over uneven surface at any speed. When braking at speeds, the steering wheel shifts violently in operators hands. Rotors and pads as well as strut assembly was replaced in an attempt to correct the issue. Symptoms continued after these replacements. Tie rod ends and swing bars were later replaced with no positive results. This leave the assumption that the issue is related to the power steering system. Possible defect in the rack and pinion steering unit.
