Default Clicking noise when turning.

I just got an EF a few days ago and when I turn the wheel fully it makes like 3 clicks and when I turn it back it does the same. The previous owner replaced the steering column and, I haven't had time to look at it but just curious if anyone would know what it could be? He put a CRX steering column in it. Or atleast it's a CRX steering wheel.

its how the steering wheel was installed. i just bought a new one and had the same problem, i removed the steering wheel and checked everything once over and i installed it improperly. just remove the steering wheel and make sure nothing is out of place.

Check and replace your CV joints. Clicking in turns is usually a sign your axles are toast....Hope this helps..

Does it click when you drive in a circle or just click when you turn the steering wheel at a stand still. Where does the click seem like its coming from? The below the car or the dash?

Seems like it's coming from the dash thats why I mentioned the steering column. It clicks when I turn like onto a street but I don't think it does when I am standing still and not moving (don't remember)
