very slight tick in steering column
Just curious, and maybe I just never noticed it before, and maybe it's no big deal. I dont think it's the tires/wheels, which seems to be every answer i find for steering noises. (ackerman effect with the run flats).
Anyway, when I turn the steering in one direction then start correcting back to center there is an ever so slight, single click/tick which sounds/feel like it's just behind the steering wheel in the column itself. Not multiple, just a single noise, until you repeat the process. There does not seem to be any problems/concerns at this time. I was just wondering if it's the start of something else I will have a later concern on.
IE: now that I have heard it ... it drives me crazy

did a long ride yesterday .. Its only on left turns and its typically during the 1st portions of a turn.
for example i make a left turn .. it may make the noise right at the start .. and only then.
if you very a couple very small right to left wheel turns you can make it happen multiple times. It also only seems to happen when the wheel is close to center .. if if have the wheel turned 50% and do the same motions, it doesnt occur .. only when the wheel is close to centered. Going to see if i can catch it on video, its almost a feel in the turn, as much as the noise.
Almost like i it has a angled notch/catch in the turn somehow, and it hangs on it every so slightly.
