Steering Knock?

There is a well reported fault on the T5's of a steering knock issue.
My T6 is now at 56k miles, has been lowered on coilovers for most of that time and has now developed a knock when going from extremes of lock. No looseness can be detected when van jacked and on stands. Suspension appears to be working o.k, no unusual noises there.
I will get the steering checked out at the next service, but was just wondering if any other T6 owners had experienced any strange noises from the steering?
 
where do you get the knock?

at 100% lock?, on one side or other?

or somewhere mid travel between either lock?

is it happening when you are static in the van? (turning wheel while stationary) - this produces the most load on the steering/suspension system and can cause the bushes to move.
 
Funnily enough, it's most noticeable when reversing out of my driveway. After re-reading the extensive thread on the other forum about the T5, I'm not convinced my symptoms are the same as theirs. I'll get it checked out next service but was just wondering if anyone else had noticed any noises from their van
