Hi, annoying problem, after driving for 15 - 20 minutes, a noise will start inside of the steering wheel when turning in either direction. The noise is sort of a grinding metal on metal wet sneaker sound, obviously something is worn out or lacking lubrication. Any ideas? Thanks

I would doubt it is the steering rack. Try and PM one of our memeber named RFM, he has loads of insight on these models and should be able to point you in the right direction.

Dealer replaced the power steering rack, including the steering gear, part: 955-347-011-17 and the steering column sealing sleeve, part: 955-347-037-03

Drive is MUCH improved, nice "new car" stiffness, plus, it appears the noise is gone (fingers crossed)
