Clicking noise from the steering wheel area

Has anyone else have this issue other than me? Response appreciated!

No, never heard of that problem.

I dont know about the steering wheel area, but a clicking noise when you turn usually means your CV joints are bad. This happened on my old car. Might wanna get that checked.

....it's a BOMB......RUUUNNNNNN!!!!

I've noticed that it only happens under cold temperature but then it's not constant...just once in a while. Anywayz, my car is due for a maintenance checkup, so i'll have them check that out too.

Thanks for the replies^^

Well Skooby, if it is not a bomb, and it only happens on cold weather for the first minute or so of driving, there's a good possibility that it's your speedo.

Is it more of a chigga chigga chigga chigga sound? that goes faster once you accelerate, then goes away after 2 minutes?

Your speedo might just need a little lube here and there. Nothing serious.

I'm guessing it's not very loud at all, and sounds like it's coming from behind your instrument panel?

<Speechless>
It's the same tone as the turn signal. And yes it's around the instrument panel area. Umm....what's a speedo? Thanks

A speedo is an undergarment-like garb for swimming with a garter most commonly worn by large hairy european men.

Okay seriously now, I meant the speedometer.

I had the same problem. The mechanic told me that there is a losen speedometer cable that keep hitting on the dash board. He is going to charge me $250 for the fix. $35 for the part and the REST is LABOR!!! can you believe it?! Anyway, any help on fixing it? where is the speedometer cable and how do i tighten it?

I don't think you need to fix it. I've have this problem for about 3 years now and it doesn't seem to cause anything. The shop is just trying to rip you off.

but, the problem is... I need to sell the car. people who came to check out the car are worried about the sound... thought it is some kind of engine or transmission problem. sigh
