Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts needed.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the ignition is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical issues.
2. Inspect Steering Column
  • Remove the plastic covers around the steering column using a screwdriver.
  • Check for any loose bolts or worn components within the steering column assembly.
  • Tighten any loose hardware and replace any damaged parts as necessary.
3. Check for Debris
  • Inspect the area around the steering mechanism for any foreign objects.
  • Clean any debris that may be causing the clicking noise.
4. Inspect Power Steering Fluid
  • Locate the power steering fluid reservoir.
  • Check the fluid level against the recommended marks.
  • If low, add the manufacturer-recommended power steering fluid (e.g., Hyundai PSF-3).
  • If the fluid is dark or contaminated, consider a full fluid change.
5. Test Power Steering Pump
  • Use a multimeter to check the power steering pump's voltage while the engine is running.
  • Listen for unusual noises from the pump while turning the steering wheel.
  • Replace the power steering pump if it is not functioning correctly.
6. Evaluate Suspension Components
  • Raise the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
  • Inspect tie rods and ball joints for wear or damage.
  • Replace any components that show signs of damage or excessive play.
