Steering wheel "click" when turning

I have a 73 Bronco, 302, automatic, on 35's. It is used 2-3 days a week but not as a daily driver. Recently (tonight) I've been feeling a pop or clicking motion in the steering wheel. I noticed it more when turning the wheel to the left then to the right. It is very slight right now and only happening half way through the 1st rotation of the wheel. Any ideas on what to look for? I've never noticed it before so I'm not thinking its a normal bronco quirk.......

i had something similiar happen to mine. mine had kind of a click too, but i noticed at night a small spark within the column. after about 3 weeks, it ended up shorting my horn. whenever id turn the wheel the click would sound the horn off...really sucked. i ended up just taking the fuse out for now?:? guessing something is rubbing that shouldnt be. good luck

Hmmmm....

I had that problem with my '76 once. If I remember correctly, it was the turn signal cancelor catching, and it ended up broke off. I bought a new one(it's great having a brother in the parts business!), and that was that.
