The power steering unit has had known issues with rattling when large inputs FROM the wheels need to be soaked up (bumps, bad roads, vibrations from the brakes). Annoying thing is that it functions as intended, the noise is a byproduct of the PS box soaking up those inputs. It backdrives the PS gearbox and some % of the units have enough lash in the gears that they make noise. It also gets worse if you have significantly lighter than stock wheels, since they have less inertia to absorb bumps.

Mine does it, and you have 2 options: replace the PS unit on your own dime, or live with it.
Nah pretty sure it isnt that because I can feel the "clunk" through the dead pedal with my foot.
