So as I was driving to work today I noticed something interesting and concerning. When I turned into the parking lot, as I rotated the steering wheel, it started to make "clicking" noises. It almost sounded like it was trying to lock the wheel in place like the car was off or something. Anyone ever encounter this problem? If so, or if you have any ideas as to why, help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Are you sure it wasn't the MFS (turn signal stalk) making the sound? If it is pushed in, while trying to return back to the middle, it will make a clicking sound.

And did it just happen on one occasion? Or were you able to replicate the sound again?
 
It happens all the time so I dont know. I did notice once that it made my turn signal blink really fast for a second through a turn. Is that something thats just finicky or is it something that needs replacing?
