Ive had this problem were when you turn left or right you get this knock or click rubber sensation through the steering wheel. I get it when you are going at speeds below 10mph with u turn and when stationary on uneven surfaces . when turn wheel on both directions .
it is present for 2 years and not changing
I took it to dealer and not recall problem in front suspension parts but the click is present
I know there is a broblem but don't know

Since this appears to have been happening since the car was new, a worn part is not the likely culprit. Instead, start by looking at the steering shaft under the dash to see if there's a universal joint that is rubbing on something. Also, the clock spring can cause noises, but only if it's starting to come apart. That's a wound-up ribbon cable in a plastic housing under the steering wheel.

Also look at the two accordion boots on the rack and pinion steering gear to see if something is rubbing on one of them.
