Hi all,
I know this is kinda petty problem compared to others but I was wondering what a noise coming from my steering column could be. I happens if I rapidly turn the wheel from side to side. It's a clicking type noise.
I did have a look under the dash at the steering linkage and noticed that the ujoint just above the rag link (I think that's what it is) has some slack in it. I think this is where the noise is coming from but it's hard to isolate the noise due to the acoustics under the dash. I was going to rip the column apart but decided to wait till I get my replacement steering wheel. To be sure that the noise is coming from the ujoint, is there a way to lube this it to get rid of the slack? I can't find and way to grease it. Also what kind of grease should I use? I assume something heavy.
The little clicking while steering is driving me crazy. I need to get my radio fixed soon.
