When drive 10-15 mph on a local street that's not newly paved I get feedback up the steering shaft. It sounds like something is not tight. The steering wheel end has little play and the car has new shocks.

Any thought on where I should be looking ?

11/13/17 Update: turned out to be the top nut on the new Bilsteins was not tight,

The rubber donut that connects the shaft to the rack can wear out.
The play on the wheel can be cured with a sleeve.

OK: If I remove the gas tank, what do I want to look for ?
