Strange clicking noise inside cab when turning right

[hunter4ever12]

Whenever i turn right in my 92 k1500 it makes a strange rattling/clicking noise coming from somewhere between the steering column and the drivers door i cant figure out the exact source or even what it could be. It does tick slower when im going slow and faster and louder when i am going fast and when sitting still it doesnt do it at all. But i am possitive its coming from inside the cab so im baffled

CONDITION:

SOME OWNERS MAY COMMENT ON AN INTERMITTENT STEERING COLUMN SNAP OR CLICK NOISE WHILE TURNING. THE SNAPPING OR CLICKING MAY ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.
CAUSE:

THE UPPER BEARING RACE SEAT MAY, UNDER SOME TURNING CONDITIONS, MOVE IN AN AXIAL DIRECTION ALONG THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT. THE NOISE IS A RESULT OF THE INNER RACE SEAT HANGING UP ON THE SHAFT AND THEN SUDDENLY RELEASING CAUSING A SNAPPING OR CLICKING NOISE.
CORRECTION:

A NEW UPPER BEARING SPRING WITH INCREASED STIFFNESS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE NEW SPRING WILL INCREASE THE PRELOAD BETWEEN THE UPPER BEARING INNER RACE SEAT AND THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT. TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW SPRING WITH INCREASED STIFFNESS, THE CANCEL CAM WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE NEW SPRING AND CANCEL CAM, ALONG WITH A RETAINER RING AND AN UPPER BEARING INNER RACE SEAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE PARTS KIT LISTED BELOW.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN SECTION 3F5 OF THE APPROPRIATE SERVICE MANUAL AND THOSE CONTAINED IN KIT. BE SURE TO USE ALL PARTS SUPPLIED IN THE SERVICE KIT.
