Clock Spring

I rx a letter from CnC asking me to go down and change the clock spring.

All I did was juz mentioned that there's a creaking sound when the steering wheel is turn during my last service.

Did anyone of u get the call/letter to change the clock spring when U feedback the steering creaking sound to them?

So far the creaking sound seem to disappear liao...don't know if I should get the thing change. Next week is the servicing anyways....good timing on the notification.

my car I have no complain wa...the only complain is where is my BK...

Fortec, how does the creaking sound sounds like? I have this 'plastic bushing' sound when I turn the steering wheel. It's not exactly a creaking sound, more like a plastic roller on plastic track sound.

"click click" sound, but nowadays don't have liao.

Must get hold of nothing and see how he did his DIY solution to it.

hmm you never check your steeling can make unlimited 360 degree turning.. cause click click till spring spoil and no more spring support already...that's why no more sound ma...

Click Click sound? Sounds like the Mark Richmond has been in your car...if you can still remember our dear ****'s horrendous local superhero, VRman..lol

I complained about this "cracking" sound during my 1K service.

So far no sound after the service. I think they tightened something ... because the steering wheel feels a bit tighter now ... not as loose as when I first got the car.

Mayb coz spoil liao tats y no more sound

mine got clicking sound only recent.
but oddly for now, sometimes have sometimes dun have.

Pretty sure I was the first few to complain of the cracking sound during my 1K. Wrote it in MCF causing a bit of concern. They could not rectify it then.

I went down for a checkup on something else lately and again complained of the cracking sound from the steering when I turn. Appears that they found the cause, and just lubricated the clock spring and till now have not heard the sound so far.

mine the cracking sound disappeared only for a few days after lubrication and now they are even louder than before....

i hv changed my clock spring b4 but it didn't solved e clicking sound prob, e clicking sound comes from e Airbag Module as mention by bro nothing...

FORTEc, the sound should be able to simulate out.. Just full turn to left or right and then slowly, gently release back to initial position (the car must be in motion)... You might be able to hear it again..

I'll try it 2moro.

do a self test, there's some freeplay in between the Airbag module(the one with KIA logo on it) and the steering wheel central hub, use the tip of yr finger and push the Airbag module from the bottom upwards, hear for any squeaking plastic sound, if Yes, nothing to do with clock spring....if 100% no sound, chances is the clock spring....

Clock spring problem will give u very faint tick tick sound while if due to Airbag module, it will produce squeaking plastic sound (plastics rubbing against each other).....
