Default Steering Wheel Popping noise?

Looking for some help, so i have a 2011 IS250 and everytime i turn the steering wheel i hear a popping noise coming from behind the steering. My friend is a tech at a toyota dealer So we started by disconnecting the ps rack and intermediate shaft and isolated the issue to somewhere in the steering column area. I replaced the steering column and the noise is still there!!! I have no idea where it could be coming from. If anyone has any ideas or has seen this issue before, let me know please. Thanks everyone!

You've done good detective work to help isolate the issue to a specific area. The video isn't much help because there was so many different noises; hard to tell what was the "popping" vs other sounds. But my first thought would be to look into a the airbag clock spring.

Does the noise only happen with the engine running or does it do it as well while in "accessory"? Have you adjusted the tilt up and down and in and out to see if that helps?

I couldn't tell what was what making sounds in the video either, but my first though was clock spring as well. Do all the controls on the steering wheel and the shift paddles work as they should?
