Question MY04 STI steering column rattle

My nephew took me out in his STI type UK, obsidian black, looks awesome. One thing put me off the vehicle: everytime he accelerated out of a corner and hit an uneven surface there was a metallic chatter from what seemed like where the steering column joins to the floor. He hadn't noticed it but I took a drive and heard it even louder, it depended on the road wheel angle and the number of mid corner bumps to make it happen. I told him to take it to the dealer as my MY02 WRX wagon does not do this. Any ideas guys?

My nephew is unfazed by it but I am concerned, what may be causing it? Any other STI owners got this?

I can't understand why they haven't fixed it on the new models. Apparently the MY06 in EVO last month did exactly the same thing. It sounds like the steering is coming loose
