Clicking in steering wheel

Maybe an easy fix but not sure.

I recently repositioned my steering wheel and now when ever I turn it I get a clicking sound.

Not sure what it could be.
1970 f100
Thanks
Anthony

Welcome to the forums.

Not sure about the clicking sound? Is it one for every revolution? Or quick, constant?

Does it sounds like it's at the wheel area, or down below column?

How well does the blinker return work? Not at all? Sounds like it could be related possibly. How about the horn? Could be the brass button contact for the horn?

most likely the turn signal cancelers hitting the switch . remove wheel and take a look l, lube up the switch pivot points with white lithium grease .

It seems that it was the spring. I was allowed to expand too much. I stepped on it for 3 minutes and then greased it up good. Now no clicking. Thanks for the help.
