Default Steering wheel noise

Hello 2001 hatchback steering wheel makes noise when turning left or

right. Sounds like someone dropped a coin in there. Are there washers

that may have fallen, broke? I'm new owner so would appreciate any clues

on what's going on. Thank you very much!

Not sure what sound you are describing...
groan, whine, scraping, squeak, etc.

half. also rolls right or left while turning but then after turn, drops/rolls to bottom of the

wheel again. just started this, nothing loose, car driving fine thanks
