Hello again to everyone!

I have a bit of strange problem with my car and I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice?

Over the last few weeks, whenever I turn the steering wheel to the left, I am getting a noise like a creaky spring. It's not a particularly loud noise but it is beginning to annoy me, esp. as I don't know what it is.

The sound seems to be coming from just behind the steering wheel so I've ruled out anything like the power steering pump. Also, it doesn't happen when I turn to the right, and is less pronounced if I am indicating when I turn the wheel.

Any ideas?

The sound is kind of what you'd get if gave tension to a small rusty spring .
 
I had exactly this for a while after I changed the steering wheel. It went away by itself after a few months.

Probably nothing to worry about ! Never found out exactly what it was though !!
