If you have a clicking or ticking when slightly turning your car at idle or any minor play in the wheel but the alignment is perfect AND your steering column has been replaced but it is still there or has come back READ the following:
Part number= 32-30-6-784-845 Lower joint assm.
Tech stated that he inspected all steering and suspension components and found excessive play when turning the wheel and also heard a clicking/ticking sound from under dash area. Submitted a Puma case, and they advised him to replace the lower steering spindle and then recalibrate the steering angle sensor via ISTA. Excessive play is GONE and no more ticking or clicking when driving or at low speeds.
So if you have an E-90 like me and have this issue and they say its within spec, it is NOT. Press them or ask nicely about this part in particular cause I guess tech said on papar work that it is becoming a more common issue, that both the steering column and lower shaft have to be swapped in most cases.
