So, I noticed this clicking sound coming from what sounds like within my steering wheel. Should this be of any concern? What could it mean? The car is in idle as well when it does this.

Hi,

There is a lower bearing on the steering column that is not properly seated. That is where the sound comes from.

If you take a look below, I attached a technical service bulletin related to the issue. To eliminate the noise, the steering column is replaced. Note that the TSB below provides diagnostics and repair information.

Take a look through it and let me know if it helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
