Click or knock noise from steering column
This morning I had some lady run a red light and I had to white knuckle turn left, hard on brakes to avoid a collision and hard turn the other way to miss the car in the other lane. No question I was hanging on to the steering wheel for dear life...
Shortly afterwards as I sharply turning right into a parking lot I hear a click from the steering column. On way out I hear the same thing from column when turning sharply to the right. I am pretty sure its coming from steering wheel area/column and not the engine bay. I just went for a drive again and took it to a school parking lot. I can mostly reproduce it but at much lower speeds it sounds more like a knock. Sounds like I messed up the electronic steering stuff. Any ideas before I take it to dealer? |

Its probably the sway bar end link bolts. Check them before going in

I had the same issue with crunching noises coming from the steering when doing 3-point turns in my driveway. It turned out that the steering gear had to be replaced, but that was after they replaced the transmission mount (visit 1), tightened/checked all steering linkage (visit 2) and replaced the tie-rod end links (visit 3). The steering gear was replaced on visit 4. Ridiculous service.

I looked underneath and didn't see anything obvious. With car running I can reproduce by just rocking steering back and forth. I'm attaching video. Have dealer appointment next week.

Dealer kept it for 2 days, said the steering rods were loose and out of adjustment, coincidence it happened after steering recall was done ? He things so, said only was underneath to swap rack, this time entire column apart for both shafts to be properly adjusted/tightened. He said its common lately for this ending up to be the air bag, I wasn't so lucky.
Car fine since but took over 2 days to get it done. d-

Ah.. I did find this other post where they said it was a loose bolt hitting the air bag. Going to check it out.
