There is a whining noise when you turn the steering wheel that sounds like it is coming from the column. (We joke that it sounds like a whiny puppy.) I think it might sound like the steel part of the column rubbing against a dried rubber or plastic part. After the car warms up, it goes away, or is quite a bit less noticeable. (I can't say if it's the warming up as in heat, or just driving it a little.)
Any ideas?
