[QUOTE="nautica1973, post: 392924, member: 4949"] By that do you mean "Being completely stationary there is still a faint tak tak sound emanating from your car" ? OR do you mean "Being completely stationary position and when you rotate the steering wheel, there is a faint tak tak sound emanating from your car" ? If the first definition is what you meant, then the issue is not so much in your steering mechanisms but perhaps your beltings, fan or some other loose or worn devices within your engine bay. If the frequency of the "tiny tak tak sound" increases with your RPM and eventually fades off, it would in most likelihood not be connected to steering mechanisms. If however it is the second definition, perhaps the other gurus in the forum would be better tasked to take your question. I would however assume it could be the warn ball joints or worn bushes in the arms. [/QUOTE]
