Recently every now and again I get a clicking noise when I turn the steering wheel, usually to the left. Sounds as if the noise is definitely inside the car
Top mounts, springs and lower arm have recently been done.
Lower arm was done because the front bottom ball-join had "play"

Is this anything to be concerned about ?
08 Yaris MK2

I was actually down the mechanic today to have the front brakes cleaned and lubricated so I'd assume nothing is seriously wrong else they would have seen it ( due to a loud rattle which has now stopped )

After some reading, seems a common thing in Toyotas and is something to do with the steering wheel bolts itself.

Done some more reading and owners have actually asked Toyota and apparently it's not an issue and it's common. And most likely something just needs lubricating
If you want it fixed it's a ridiculous price like over £800.

Is this something I need looking at or not ? If it just needs the mechanic mechanic lubricate something that's fine but I don't want to spend any large amounts on it

Is it possible to lubricate the splines ?
