Default Steering Wheel Column Noise

Does anyone have any clues on what this noise is? I already replaced the parts below along with new struts and strut mounts. I am still having that clicking noise and is driving me insane. Also going over small bumps and gravel the click can be felt. Thanks

I have the same problem as of recently. The damn steering wheel clicks randomly when turning and with the radio off can be rather annoying. I honestly don't want to deal with troubleshooting something like that. LOL. I wish you luck and I hope someone with insight can respond.

my 86 mr2 had this noise years ago.i greased the u bolts .(knuckle)
look where the steering column runs into the floor and you will see it.put some bearing grease on it.look up the column and you should another one,grease that to.slop it on and give it a try.
i havent had the noise in my 86mr2 sense.i have also did my 06430 just in case.

The thing is that I replaced those parts and still have the clicking. You can actually feel the click in the steering wheel so I doubt greasing will help it out. There is also play in the steering wheel, replaceing those parts did help with 75% of the problem.

Check this out. I don't know if it references the parts you already replaced.

Thanks for the input. I will look into that other shaft, I think it runs around $250.
