Click/rattle in steering wheel?

My car has apparently been away from a dealership for too long, and it's trying to get me to take it back. The latest issue is a "click" noise in the steering wheel. Whenever I turn the wheel slightly, it'll click from somewhere either inside the wheel or the steering column. Does anyone else's car do this?

I don't think it's either of these things... the steering feels fine. The pump makes its usual whine, nothing out of the ordinary. The noise isn't audible from outside the car. Upon opening up the access panel on the steering wheel and popping the top off the steering column it looks like it has something to do with that ring looking part between the column and the wheel.
