Hi, recently my 02 Camry(4 cyl) is making a tick noise at turning: if the turn signal is on, I can hear between 1 to 3 "ta" sound (depend on how big the turn is)from the steering column. If the signal is not on, no such sound when turn. Dealer said it's normal and that's the mechanism to automaticly shut off the signal. The thing is, I don't think the noise was there before. A friend's Corrola doesn't do this, while a
01 camry is doing the same. Is your 02--05 Camry act like this? Shoulds to me a part needs to be lubricated? Thanks for any suggestion.
BTW, the quality of the new model of Camry is terrible. My car is made in JP, less than 2 years old(40K km). Already has fuel guage sending unit changed; drive belt replaced(squeaking); driver seat rack replaced; No air blown to the floor(fixed); Leaking coolant at the top side of engine(to be fixed); power steering box(don't know its name; it's where the steering column and the power steering fluid pipe join, under the hood) leaking. And of course, that's famous rattle noise from behind the dash board which the dealer always said they can't reproduce but I hear it every day.
