steering problem

[Noodle Boy]

hey guys,

just a few days ago i started to realize a small problem with the steering of my Aurion. When i put the indicators on and turn the steering wheel at a corner, an evident tick-tock sound can be heard each time the wheel is turned. It's not loud, but enough to be heard. I can still steer the car properly though. I'm not sure if it's major or not, but it's starting to annoy and worry me. Has anyone experienced this before, if so what is the problem.

Thanks in advance.

The little 'tick-tock' sound and feel you get is actually part of the mechanism that makes the indicators work the way they do. To be honest, I personally don't feel or hear it on my Aurion, so it may seem yours may need more grease on it's internal components. To understand how the mechanism works, have a look at the following link:

better bring the car in a dealer to get that sorted since it's still in the warranty period.

I can hear mine do the same thing quite clearly when the car has been sitting in the sun all day at work and I turn out of the parking row QUICKLY.

After that first time I don't really hear it again ...

I hear that same sound you speak of... it's actually loud in my car though. I sometimes wonder if people outside can hear it.

Only thing is, I only hear it when I an reversing & turning at the same time, never whilst going forward though.
