Ford TSB No. 43/2001 summary quote:
"Should a customer express concern over creaking and knocking which can be felt, and sometimes heard, from the steering wheel during load changes especially at low ambient temperatures and after short term parking of the vehicle, the probable cause is too much friction in the steering shaft length compensator and the steering shaft is incorrectly adjusted. To rectify the concern, the steering shaft should be loosened and the steering shaft bush lubricated with silicone grease. When the steering shaft is installed, the installation dimension of 70 mm for the length compensator must be maintained."
