Default Steering wheel Knock

When I turn the wheel on my 2002 Ram 2500 it makes a knocking sound it doesnt do it all the time but it does and it sounds like its coming from inside the cab not outside any suggestions?

The hardest part for me was installing the retainer ring to hold the bushing. No room to swing the hammer to tap it on.

Just gotta be real careful not to let it turn and ruin the clock spring.

All you have to do is turn the S/wheel until it locks and remove the key. And have at it.
