Answer
Hi Wendell:

I have tried before to answer noise questions on the web and it is just too difficult. Your clicking is my ticking and your knocking is my thumping, etc. I would suggest going to a couple of shops and have them just drive it with you to get an idea of what you are after. If they want you to leave it for diagnosis, find another shop. The good shops will be glad to 'go for a ride' to help you before getting involved. If after you do that you wish to ask me about their opinion, I would be glad to assist you with that.

With that said, I would direct you to ask them specifically about the steering wheel rubbing on the shroud, or a bad clockspring.

Good Luck Doug
