Default Feel a clunk/click in the steering

Since picking up my 2011 Z06 about 2 months ago I've felt a very minor click in the steering wheel when turning the wheel slightly from side to side.

Today during an HPDE at Roebling Roads in GA, the click turned into more of a clunk and it's now audible. Are there any common issues with the steering I should be aware of?

From what I understand, the magnets in your magna steer rack came loose. No fix is available other than a new rack. New rack will do the same thing. It is a design issue on the later C6 racks.

Wow, I hope that's not the case. How can what was a $92K car just two years ago have such a design flaw?
