Default 2006 STI - CLICKING noises coming from inside steering wheel

2006 owners - do u get a click/ feel of something going PING inside the steering wheel sometimes - it happens when i turn left or right at medium speed - say 40 mph

i feel something pushing back from inside the steering wheel, and then it goes PING ( it a DULL THUD kind of PING), not a sharp noise

Your 06 seems to be riddled with faults!

Could this be the kickback damper playing up??

Nurses, get the white coat, he's not playing nicely with his model car again.

If i were you, drive to your dealers with the list of posts you've made here, ask them to sort them all out. That's what a warranty is for.
