"Clicking" from front end on low speed turns

The wife is telling me her 13 sport has started 'clicking' when she does low speed turns...

May be the steering column - is there a lube joint for it ?


Thanks in advance...

Ha Ha I did 3 years ago....

the mind is a terrible place to store memories

I've always said forgetting is an ACTIVE response because you are experiencing too much to store it all !

Trucks ain't the only thing that gets rusty with age!

OK,
brought it into the dealer about 5:30 this afternoon and parked it to check in at service... we left it and went to get something to eat...

the Svc writer I've been using for the last 5 or 6 cars I bought from there called me and said the batteries dead !
I'm like, wait, we haven't had a hiccup out of it and the wife leaves before daylight and gets back after dark for work !!!

Sure enough went back to check with our key and DEAD...

Lex, the svc writer, said the battery could be your steering problem since it is electric power steering - which I didn't even know it was

so he's going to put a battery and we'll see tomorrow.

Not good news on ours....

had to get a battery there AND $2300 for a steering column ?!? so much for my crowing about how good this car has been

But it has been trouble free for 4 years and 98000 miles so I guess I shouldn't complain
