funny, I just bought a 13 grand sport, and have a clicking in the steering wheel you describe. it feels as if its in the actual steering column. I also get a shake in the steering wheel at 60mph +
They said there is a service bulletin on it. Idk
Car has 157 miles on it when i brought it back the day after I bought it for this issue.

Wouldn't you think that if there was already a TSB for something like this for previous years, that the new ones would have the issue already addressed?
all i can do is pray lol.
Sorry, I got the jitters since my delivery is so close.

That makes me so paranoid. I'm picking up my '13 this week.

Relax, enjoy the anticipation and then enjoy the car.

Looks like you don’t want don’t want to receive a new Corvette built at the end of December, I think like Dec 17th. I was going to take my C6 coupe out for a 100 miles spin and then I stared to get some clicking and looseness in the wheel. Called Onstar, no help, then took it into the dealer where after 3 days they replaced the Steering Column, I told them it might be the Rack, but after checking with GM, that’s what they told them to change. Well the new Steering Column did not fix the problem, so GM told them to replace the Rack and Pinion, which fixed the problem after 10 days.
Good news everything seems fine now and no problem with the dealer, bad news I did not expect this on a new Corvette that I have driven maybe 10 times.
