| Description of the problem | When driving this car there is small jerk of the steering wheel accompanied by a loud click. This occurs intermittently while driving straight on any street or highway and always occurs when making turns in either direction. The condition was brought to my attention by a state inspection technician in 2015 when it was only a very light clicking noise when turning left or right with no motion felt in the steering wheel. The condition has progressively worsened and now the clicking is quite loud accompanied by an easily felt jerk in the steering wheel. |
