Clicking from steering wheel

[vollansjames]

My yeti has started making a clicking noise when you turn the steering wheel. The noise seems to come from directly under the steering wheel. Has anyone got any ideas

Could it be the clock-spring, do all the buttons on the wheel work?
Or maybe be the indicator cancel mechanism or the top column bearing.

CV joints particularly doing a U- turn type manoeuvre?.

I thought maybe the indicator mechanism. I also read a lot about it being the cv joint but as noise seems to come from directly behind the steering wheel thoughy this was unlikely. How would i check if it was the indicator

[Urrell]

Does it always click when the steering wheel is in the same place.

Doesnt seem to no

I had this the other day.

Every time I went round a corner I heard this clink.

Go round another & clink.

 

After driving around for 10 hours, I finally found the answer.

Which was?

My Granddaughter had left 2 marbles in the center arm rest. 

They clinked together as I went round the corner.

Sounds like a load of B@££$  - sorry couldn't resist

 

Seriously though - worth checking out just to make sure. I had a Fiat Punto a few years ago owned from 2 1/2 years old that had a strange steering noise - the steeering column to rack pinch bolt hadn't been er "pinched" - probably from new! Easily sorted but could have been much more serious!
