A chunk of something. - Benzworld.org

Turning my steer wheel (left or right), I hear the sound of a "chuck of something" rolling around in there. There is also an intermittent clicking sound. Am I alone on this, or has anyone experienced the same issue(s)?

possibly a bad spring perch or tie rod, if theres any way for you to get the car in the air you will probably find the culprit.

Thanks for the reply FrankiE55. But, the sound is coming from within the steering wheel. Something is definitely rolling around in there. I am thinking a loose nut or a broken internal part. I a fishing for probabilities before I disassemble my steering wheel.

Oh it's actually inside, that's different. Like you said, maybe one of the circlips broke in there, does it sound like it's in the wheel or in the steering column? have you recently nailed the horn or something?

I sounds like it's in the steering wheel. Low and behold, no sound today. Maybe it fell down the steering column. And, I rarely use the horn.
