On my Astra M reg I noticed a slow clicking when driving slowley which increased in temo as my speed went up, I figured it was the speedo. A few weeks later my speedo cable snapped and the clicking stopped, Just looking for replacement Speedo cable now...
The speedometer cable is either worn out or loose.
Turn on the signal and listen for the clicking noise. If it is still clicking occasionally then you can follow the noise and feel where it is located. If it has totally stopped then look on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel.
I heard it was an intermediate steering shaft and cost around 130.00 dollars
squeaking noise coming from sleeve covered arm coming from steering column to the wheel
Unfortunately the power steering unit is on the way out.
You might need to flush your power steering fluid system. What causes this whining or sizzling noise is the hydraulic bar getting stuck which a driver doesn't feels in its rack. or if your car recently visited a ditch or hot a side walk really hard, these factors can effect your steering rack and steering Coulomb.
it is the door alarm
the dealership told me that it is due to the steering column needing to be lubricated
Check your power steering fluid
That's what relays do when they are energized.
A scraping, ticking noise up high in the steering column is normally caused by the SIR coil. This is a coiled flat wire for the air bag. The noise does not harm anything. You have to replace the SIR coil. If the noise is down low, this could be due to a bearing in the steering column, or may even be a fault in the steering rack and pinion that transmits noise up the column. A dry boot at the firewall can also make noise. Try lubricating the rubber boot with a spray lube, like a good lithium grease.
The clicking noise is most likely relay chatter. If you turn the key and hear a clicking noise and the engine does not crank, this usually a sign of a low battery (or a short). Check the battery first. If the battery is good there may be a short in the electrical system. Start with the ignition switch. Remove the four screws on the bottom of the steering column. Then lift off the top half of the steering column. Inspect the wiring and try to tighten any loose connections. Make sure the pos. & neg. battery leads are in good order (especially the neg. lead.)
