Default Slight knock in steering wheel

I've read about the front motor mount issue in the earlier Pilot's, and how that translated into a vibration through the steering wheel at higher speeds as well as at low speed/high load conditions.

I've just recently started feeling a very slight knock coming through the steering wheel on our '11 Touring with 28,000 miles. Feels similar to the knock we had on our Tahoe when the intermediate steering shaft was going bad, or similar to a tie rod end problem, although to a much lesser degree. I notice it most at lower speeds (under 20mph) and when turning. Again, the problem is pretty faint, but I'm afriad it's just going to get worse. I greatly appreciate the Honda "tightness", and this isn't helping that.

I can't imagine tie rods are already worn on a 17 month old car with 28,000 miles...

Anyone else had this problem? Should I just schedule an appt. with the dealer since it's still under warranty?

2011's have had front wheel bearing and front axle issues....use forum search engine for "2011 front axle". May or may not be your issue but those are 2 things that the dealer can check.
