Steering Column rattle or clunk (strange noise)

I have a developing issue with a strange noise coming from the steering column, just somewhat below the airbag.
The noise especially appears on uneven roads like stone bricks.
There is also noise when turning the steering wheel from left to right when standing.
Another user has the same issue, even more bothering.
I've tried to check how the steering wheel is fixed, dismantled the airbag and the bolt is fixed really well. So I have really no clear clue and only three suspects:
steering rake, steering shaft, and steering column.
Maybe someone has? Thanks.

Still under warranty? I found out they don't service steering columns, they swap them out as an assembly. I think ~$4k was the approximate price for a new steering rack. I'lll let you know when I get the bill for mine (it was replaced a month or two ago, bit they then decided to replace the front motor as well and that arrives tomorrow).

no outcome yet. Trying to tighten the bolt on the steering rake didn't help. Was diagnosed the problem in the steering rake itself and it needs to be dismantled and refurbished. But it is to be done for now.
