Hi dan123ben,
You said you found where the click is coming from but did you manage to sort your problem out?
I have a similar issue, although my click is only on turning the steering wheel left

FWIW it's a common issue...........others on another boards have stated it's nothing to be concerned with.
Maybe try some WD40
