Rattle inside the steering wheel

Rattle inside the steering wheel
Anyone ever had this happen?...
Every time I turn the steering wheel (in either direction) it sounds like a loose bolt/nut inside the steering wheel. I'm a little concerned about this 1. in case something gets loose and I lose control of my steering, and 2. if the airbag goes off and it is a loose nut/bolt there is a projectile problem.
Any help is appreciated on this.

Did you buy the truck used? If so, I would have that checked out right away. It's not uncommon for a vehicle to be involved in a collision and the airbag not be replaced. It's very expensive. If you are the only owner, I would still get it checked out. It's one of those scary sounds for me. Don't like to take chances with steering or brakes.
good luck.

I have the same problem with my '94 F-150. I bought it new back in '94 and I started noticing the noise when the truck was ~2 years old. I had the dealer check it out, but all I got was "could not duplicate customer concern."
This past summer my airbag light started flashing, but it's well out of warranty, and it's nothing I want to spend money on, so I haven't looked into fixing it.
