There is a rubber dogbone connector that hooks between steering column adjuster and motor mechanism. This piece is broken. It should be replaced by a trained technician due to the complexity of removing part of the underdash panel, steering column, and instrument cluster.

2017 Hyundai Elantra steering noise?

This could be caused by the deterioration of this small flexible coupler located in the steering column. The good news is you don't need to have the entire steering column or intermediate shaft replaced as most people think. This tiny, $2.00 flexible coupler and two hours of labor could be the answer to your problem.

Yes I have a Kia Soul 2013 and hear a clicking noise on the steering wheel can I still drive until next week when I get money to put it in the shop ?

Do your windshield wipers still work? There is not much mechanically in the column that would make a clicking sound. Try putting on your turn signals when going around a corner. Do they automatically click off? Is the clicking sound there all the time? I doubt it will become a major problem right now.

There is a rubber boot that your steering shaft goes through on the fire wall .sometimes it dries out .if you lube it with silicone paste .not petroleum based.it might help.do it from inside the car.under dash .or it might be clock spring .or rotary coupler in steering wheel. You might just try to lube .the hen if it don't work take to dealer.if it don't help.

Unfortunately the mechanic you spoke to was correct, a lot of Ford products had a bad run of power steering pumps. They notoriously leak and causes the pump to whine when steering.

Electric steering wheel adjustment not working - Reach/Rake

The noise you can hear is the motors still working but the worm nut has broken inside the steering column. The motors still work with the memory system you have but they are not moving the wheel as the worms are still turning but the nut which is attached to the steering column will be floating. Remove covers and check this before you order the new parts as i am informed that a full column is required in order to replace this little part. As it in no way affects the actual steering of the wheels you may be able to repair this without going to major expence. Hope this helps. The same happened with mine but i just wedged the steering in one place and left it. Its been two years now and i can still hear the two motors working every time i put in the ignition key but without the steering wheel adjustment. Ask yourself do you really need it
