Exclamation Creaking/clicking when turning

I don't know what the problem is, but lately, when I turn the wheel (either way, but mostly turning left), there's a squeaky or clicking kind of sound. It's hard to describe but it sounds like creaky stairs, but metal. What is it?? It is irritating the **** out of me. Any help would be great.

Hey check your rack and pinion to your stirring wheel. Im have the same prob and my mechanics found the bolt was loose. Now the noise is back so Im going to have them check it out again. Get back at me friday and I should know something.

It's your steering rack tube brackets. Only avaliable at your local ford dealership. Usually run about 15 bucks for both.

Well I don't have a warranty, so if that's what it is I'm f*cked.

Great, thanks Randy. Can you add that to the paint and clips so they can ship together? Let me know when they're ready and I'll call with your money.
