[V6-12v] Steering noise

[Jim Griffin]

I think I've experienced the same noise... from the steering wheel. I 
thought that someone had posted a long time ago that it was due to a lack 
of grease or something in the steering column. I could be wrong. Might be 
worth checking the archives.

Personally, I didn't bother to pursue it. And for the most part, I believe 
that it has disappeared. (Either that, or I just don't notice it anymore!!)
