I have the same issue. A clicking noise in the steering when turning at slow speeds. Did you resolve the issue?

Check for cracks around and behind the steering gear box. Fairly common in cars without a wander bar.

The clicking sound I'm hearing sounds like it's coming from inside the steering column immediately behind the steering wheel (inside the cabin), almost as if something came loose and is rolling around inside when I turn the wheel.
