steering wheel clicking

[DocJohn]

I think there was a similar topic posted on this board but I couldn't find it. anyway, I was driving my solara, when I turn, the steering wheel clicks. do you think it is doing that because there isn't enough power steering fluid?

It almost certainly has nothing to do with your power steering fluid level. See these threads:

thanks for the info. I might get it checked out by a dealer but I am a bit nervous about that because the mechanics in the toyota dealer near me suck at fixing cars.

I totally understand your situation. Good Luck!
If you tell Toyota service that you have spoken to other Solara owners on this site with the same problem and it was traced to a faulty spiral cable assembly in the steering column you might have a better chance of getting it fixed correctly (maybe?).

DocJohn,

Did you ever get the clicking resolved?

I have the same cllicking on my vehicle as well. Hopefully, I can get it fixed. I really don't like the mechanics at my local dealership as well.

Yes, the problem seems to have been corrected with the replacement of the spiral cable assembly. My steering wheel has been "click free" for months now.
