Reasons for Clicking Noise When Turning the Car

[RileyLee]

The reasons for the clicking noise when turning the car are as follows: Steering Column Dust Cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it might be due to the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noises. In this case, applying some grease inside the dust cover will eliminate the noise. Noise from the Steering Wheel: If the noise originates from the steering wheel, it is most likely caused by the clock spring (airbag coil). Remove the steering wheel and apply grease to the clock spring to see if the noise persists. If it does, replace the clock spring as it may be damaged. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent accidental airbag deployment.
