Knock or click noise inside steering wheel??

I bought a used car in February. I've noticed in the last two weeks, about once per week, a knocking sound inside the steering wheel. Almost like a bolt sound clicking. It must've been after a turn, as I don't recall it just being straight and doing that. I checked power steering fluid and it's ok. Its only been twice in two weeks, so is it something to be concerned about like in the very near future, or just gauge it if it continues?

Is it in the steering wheel or in the CV joint that makes a clicking sound when the wheel is turned? The CV shouldn't click so that is a good indication that it will fail soon and if it does it will leave you stranded.

@hippyjoe1955 it sounded like it was in the steering wheel like in the center behind horn icon

@Coralmist OK. If it is just one click as you turn the wheel and not a clicking as the wheel remains turned then it is in the steering column and not something you need to worry about.
