Rack rattle on part or full lock

1 er's, Sad to say that I haven't found any discussion on this as yet suggesting to me that I may be alone. Or hopefully I'm just useless at using the search function.

Since picking the car up new, it has had a distinct clunk/rattle seemingly from the steering rack but only when there was some lock on the wheel.

This would present itself most clearly when making a u turn and hitting a cats eye/ road reflector mid turn. This noise is not prevalent at all when wheel is straight or only slightly turned. So never hear it when driving at speed. But with significant lock, it's very noticable.

For some reason I thought it was normal but have never asked. Does this sound familiar to anyone here with a 1M?
