Steering wheel clicking?

So I just started noticing this in the past week but while driving when I turn my steering wheel more than a quarter turn in either direction it makes a very faint click. There is no rhythm to it, just random clicks back and fourth. Then I was thinking about it and my dad's 2010 Honda Accord started making the same noise (just a little louder) about a year ago. It's weird, sort of like something is barely rubbing when the wheel turns inside the cabin. Only happens while driving too, if I just sit in park and move the wheel all the way right or left it doesn't make the click. I'm going in this weekend for the rear window recall so I will let them know, but has anyone heard this?

 

Thanks,

 

Drew

The only steering wheel rubbing I had in the past was on a non GM vehicle related to plastic steering wheel hub rubbing against stationary dash part. It was very faint and it would come and go, depending on temperature. Take a close look if that is the case here.

Drew... yes, I had this exact same thing happen after the dealer replaced my steering wheel ( unrelated finishing issue with the wheel)

 

Basically they had to go back, remove the wheel , and behind the wheel they said there was tab of some sort that wasn't clip in all the way.

Crud... did you notice it constantly or louder with different temperatures?

What was the issue? Mine does the same thing. Very faint clicks while turning. Can only hear it at low speeds with cab sealed up and radio off. Noise doesn't bother me, just concerned about reliability down the road. kind of weird????

I brought it into the dealer and couldnt mimic the sound. It only does it when its freezing in the morning which blows my mind away because my dads car does it constantly in Florida.

Did you or the dealership ever find a solution to this? I have a 2014 Sierra and I'm experiencing this same issue.

Anybody with this issue notice that when you first start driving in the morning the issue is non-existent? After I drive for a while then it will happen.

Hey guys my 14 Sierra did this and dealer fixed it. I can let you know the codes little later today if need be.?Actually they fixed it first time and it came back again after 1 month, dealer fixing again. Something with steering gear if I recall.

By the way for me it would only come on when truck was driven for a few hours that day. When hot essentially , never cold or when used to run a few short errands. It's like the moment you hear it , you have to take it to dealer. The video should also be good enough.

Man I'm excited to hear this! Can you take a photo of your invoice so we can show our dealers?

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
