steering wheel clicking when goes past center

[chris182cup]

within the last week i have noticed when i centre the wheel and wiggle it left to to right it clicks slightly and has a bit more resistance than usual

i have read other threads saying it could be the track rods or something, how much roughly to replace this ?

or could it be something else? the car has done 69k and not gone over any bumps or hit the wheels off anything.

could i live with it a while longer is it safe? it doesnt seem to affect the driving of the car just annoying feeling it click when driving.

i drove my old car for a year with something wrong with the power steering rack or somethin, the garage said it will cost £600 to fix but it would pass an mot and it wasnt dangerous it was just very light when turning left compared to right

thanks for looking

Anyone? Just need to know if its still safe to drive or not cant afford it fixed till after christmas? And what could it cost?

Took it to garage they cant find anything wrong under car, the noise is coming actually from behind the steering wheel so what could it be?
Someone help.

Wouldn't be abit of loose plastic or trim catching the steering wheel as it centres would it?

it's difficult without looking/listening to it but, if it's coming from the cabin, it could be the wheel/column catching on something as Jon suggests (does adjusting the wheel's height make any difference?). there are also bearings in the column tube, and a universal joint on the end of it

could it be the indicator cancellation ring catching?

Adjusting the height makes no difference but the wheel seems a litte slack when can move it up and down slightly.
Cant see anything catching on it but it does seem as if its catching on something, I dont want to try take it off and not put it back on properly.
