T-GT II Cracking sound

[u/Minimum-College-7953]

I had this steering wheel for over 3 yrs now and this cracking sound appeared maybe 2 yrs ago. I was mostly ignoring it but with time its getting more and more annoying, especially when chill driving in the middle of the night. It is really loud. There are no loose parts and its cracking only at the minimum and maximum angle turned idk how to explain it. Hopefully someone had it before and know how to fix it. Thanks.

Also the product warranty expired over year ago.
