bearings in the column. i see this alot in my line of work. (heavy equipment mech) the operator grabs the steering wheel getting in and out of the cab. destroys the bearings in the top and pivot bushings if its a tilt column. not to mension, imagine how many times that steering wheel has been turned.

If your turn signal was on, it's just the mechanism to cancel it snapping it back to the off position.
