Hey guys. Listen, when I turn my steering wheel in any direction, I get a low ticking/squeek directly behind it. Has anybody ever experienced this?

[align=left]In the cabin...I can put my head down to the steering wheel and hear it...it is directly behind the steering wheel. It is almost like a creak/squeek with every turn of the wheel.[/align][align=left] [/align]

I had this problem in my 05, havent had it yet in the 07.
The clock spring in the steering column went bad, take it back to the dealer and they will replace it.
Its a good way to get a new steering wheel because it all comes as one unit.
