Yes! A worn-out steering column can cause:

🔴 1. Excessive Play in the Steering Wheel – Feels loose o r unresponsive.
🔴 2. Strange Clicking o r Rubbing Noises – Especially when turning.
🔴 3. Hard-to-Turn Steering – More effort is needed to steer.

📌 Solution:
✔️ Check the steering column universal joints.
✔️ Replace worn bushings o r damaged shafts.
