Weird noise when turning left, like rubber rubbing on something? Getting louder.
Hello all. I have had this little noise when I turn left that sounds like rubber is rubbing on something inside the steering column or something. It seems to be getting loud. The car has less than 20k miles on it. It is a 2008. Any ideas on where to start?
Thanx.
Thanx.

Just to eliminate a possible cause, turn your wheels to full lock and look under your fender on that side to make sure nothing has come loose, like the finder liner.
If that's secure, its time to get inverted, wiggle into the footwell and look up under the steering column with a flashlight, something may be rubbing under your dash.
Let us know how you make out.

Thanx for popping in guys! I put it on ramps and looked around, I saw no areas where there could have been doing any rubbing. I have the stock tires/wheels. Then I looked under the dash. The boot where the steering shaft goes through the firewall was kind of folded. I poked it around a tad & sprayed it with WD-40. Then it was gone. Then after a bit if driving it came back. Hopefully I can put some real grease in there and see if that fixes is it permanently.
Thanx again guys!

Maybe I'm wrong, but just can't see a rubber boot being the only thing on the steering shaft there..
