There is a clicking noise when I turn my steering wheel from side to side. Even when the car is sitting still.

Answer 1

First, you did not mention the year, make, or model of the vehicle, or even if it has power steering or not, which could make a HUGE difference in diagnosing the alleged problem.

Second, regardless of the above, you shouldn't turn the steering wheel when the vehicle is not moving, if you can avoid it, because it puts undue strain on whatever steering mechanism you happen to have.

Third, unusual "clicks" could be attributable to anything: a loose cancelling cam (the device that turns off your turn signal), or loose wire, plastic or metal, or something rubbing against the wheel itself (i.e., poorly wrapped steering wheel cover; rubber bands caught between the steering wheel and the turn signal or power shift; etc).

As a presumably new user to this website, please heed the following advice: You need to be more explicit in your questions, much less ask an actual question! (e.g., is the noise new? when did it start? where is the noise coming from? inside the car? under the hood? by the firewall? what recent repairs were made prior to the noise starting, if any? etc, etc, etc). If not, then you won't get adequate answers (unlike this great one, of course!). ;)

Answer 2

im having a similar subject my mazda is a 2008. I lifted the front finally end up and moved the two tires to the front and the noise is coming from the 0.5 shaft. besides simply by fact the engine section.

Answer 3

the rack and pinion could be shot. you should tell what kind of car and what year it is. if it is front wheel drive it could be the axles are broken and are moving in and out of the joints. does it click very bad when you are driving? more details.

Answer 4

Sounds like the CV Joint or Ball Joint..

Answer 5

cv shaft -
axle shaft

either way you say it - it is the problem.
