My I5 steering also occasionally gives me the "sharp click" (that's a
good description of the sound, really). I haven't been able to figure
it out either, though. Mine won't do it in the shop, only in the
yard.

I'm (still) looking for the source of a sharp 'click', when I just start
to turn the steering wheel. I can move the wheel back and forth just a
few inches, and it will continue to click one time, each time I move it in
the other direction. It sounds most like it's coming from the area of the
rear mounting bracket but I don't see any play in this area.
I do see a fair amount of movement in the front bearing area though. I presume
everything under the saddle bracket is the bearing? The bracket doesn't move,
but the bearing moves maybe 1/16" or so, each way. Should this be dead
solid? It doesn't really look like this movement is causing the noise, at the
front bearing, but maybe it's causing it at the rear of the shaft?
If this needs replaced, it looks like the whole steering assy. needs
dismantled?
Thanks.
