Steering wheel noise HELP - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Alright i can take all the squeaks and rattles from the interior but this is about to drive me batty.I have a 95 240sx stock steering wheel everytime i hit a bumb while going over 15mph the steering wheel or colum makes this annoying ass rattle.It almost sounds like the steering wheel is lose but that doesnt make any sense.OR almost like the shaft inside the steering colum is hitting the tube around it.it only used to do it every once in a while when i had stock suspension.But ever since i installed my tension rods and power brace it got a lil more noticible and now that i have KTS coils its bad. So any help would be appreciated.

maybe a bolt is loose on the actual wheel, . take apart wheel. or start pulling at it and see where the ratting comming from. if ur sure the noise comes from inside the cabin it cant be that hard to find out where its from.. just takes a little bit of time.
