Ticking/Crank noise coming from steering wheel

[jshulins]

Ok so lately when taking sharp turn with my 2002 I hear a fast and loud ticking noise, almost like the noise a wind up toy car makes after you let it go, it is really loud and definitely coming from inside the cab. This has only happened a couple times in situations when I need to make a fast turn (had to avoid an accident the other day and heard it). If I make slow U turns and things like that no noise is heard. Of course I don't want to replicate a high speed turn to see if it happens again but im wondering if this is something to be concerned about that could lead to trouble down the road.

If you're making sharp, fast turns I would be concerned with other issues rather than a small noise that only happens in that one circumstance.
