[s-cars] Steering Column Creak

[Daniel Hussey]

I thought my car had a horrible idle or something loose in the steering
(vibration) untill I turned off my AC system which dissengaged the
compressor.  Car instantly turned Lexus smooth and quiet.  No vibrations at
all!

Noisy and rattly AC compressor.

But, I doubt this is related to your problem.  Let us all know what it is
when you figure it out.

Later,
