| Description of the problem | When you turn on the car the steering wheel has this click click to each side and as you're driving down the road and you move the steering wheel a click sound is heard when moving steering wheel to the right and the left. The steering wheel makes this sound while you're sitting in the driveway in the carson park where the year actually driving down the road anytime you turn the wheel just a little right to the left it sounds like and feels like the steering wheel connection is going to break i'm not a car person but it's like when the steering column goes down and it will connect to shea a u joint and you turn the turn it one way or the other and do you join us not connecting properly that's the way i can describe it. I have no documents just a sound. This happens every time you turn the wheel right or left not a lot just a little bit it would be like in the play in a steering wheel but there should be no clicks |
