a car that can't do the throttle reset.
clunky steering wheel over rough roads.

I have noticed that a slight clunky feeling in the steering wheel over low speed bumps and rough roads. Tough to explain, but I feel it in the steering wheel, but there are not audible noises like a bad control arm would emit.

I also have a slight clicking noise from the steering wheel if I am fully stopped and cut the wheel back and forth even a few degrees.

I have noticed this for a while now, and before I take my car in... was wondering if anyone has got this as well, or run into any similar situation? Thanks.

tie rod ends would be my quess- since what you are describing sounds like side to side play, not up and down.
