Description of the problem	At around 69k miles i had a new set of tires put on the car. When i got it back about a few days later i noticed when i was stopped a clicking noise that i could feel in the wheel. It seems to track straight down the road but has some slack in the wheel itself. Took the car back to pep boys and they said it was a know kia issue to call the deal. So today 9/7/18 called orlando kia today they said there is no recalls steering related but they would love to have a look. I bet. Doing some research its all over the internet and utube that the steering damper rubber star shaped damper disintegrates and that is what makes the slop in the wheel. The part number i am seeing is 56315-2k000fff and is less than 5" at the dealer. Observing different costs online depending on make and model from 225$ to 1800$ to replace. This is a dangerous situation and should have been recalled and fixed no questions asked.
