	Hey My MK2 Polo makes some strange creaking/knocking noises fromt eh steering column when manouvering, and there seems to be slight knocking when driving. also, the whole steering column seems to move freely up and down a good inch or so. What might be the problem, and is it safe to drive like this?

	Sounds like a Universal Joint (UJ) or the column top bearing to me - but I could be wrong. Not sure I'd want to drive it, TBH, as steering is a fairly crucial part of vehicle control...
