    Anyone have any issues with a noise coming from the steering wheel when you turn the wheel in standing position or very slow motion?

    Check the rack bolts to the cowl, they become loose. Two up top & one in the bottom

    Appreciate it gentle man. I ended up buying the car on the auction today. Driving it home 270 miles. Im almost half way. It drives very nice. Shifting is really sporty/hard! I like it!
    The ac wont work for some reason. Econ button is light up and I can't turn it off. I'll have to address the issue. As soon as weather warmed up no more steering noise!
    Tores need to be balanced badly, TPMS fixed and brake pas wear indicator is on. So a couple little things! Liking it so far!

    Econ light that won't go off is either pressure sensor, low coolant or ac compressor went out, FYI. I just had this happen and now need a compressor at 77k.

    There is also a tension adjustment on the rack itself, but I'd start with a complete flush and checking the mounting bolts before tweaking with that.
