Our car is at the dealer for a creaking noise when the steering wheel at near full lock. They are saying we've got a bad upper strut mount bearing and they've seen a number of these fail.
The noise is quiet but obvious and happens right around the last 5% of the wheel travel in either direction. This might be something to look for before your warranty runs out. Our car has about 25k on it.
I have an '03 MCS and when mine started creaking at the first turn of the wheel off center, I mentioned it and they replaced the steering column and the rack under warranty.....eight months or so later, it's doing it again, only when I turn it to the right and not very loud....going to take it in for the 25000 mile service and see if they think it needs another column......Bruce
Love This Car....
no stripes, no rally lights, no clear bras...thank you
