problem with steering...help
so lately i have been hearing this creeking noise coming from around the steering wheel when i turn. the faster i turn the wheel, the higher the pitch of the sound. then the other day in the morning (it was probably in the low 60s) i noticed a similar noise from under the pass side dash around the glove box when i turned the wheel.
what can this be? the car drives normally this happens a few times a day and it is getting annoying. i also tried to adjust the height of the steering wheel. i normally drive with it all the way down. so i put it up and it still made the same noise.
i hope its not my suspension that is somehow causing this.
i am dumped on f2 version coils probably a good 3.5-4 inches...
the car is a 05 and is about to hit 60k miles in a few days probably...
another thing. do you guys think that steering is covered under the 5yr/ 60k drivetrain warranty?? i just checked my miles and its 59745...

its only when the wheel is turned. i dont think it has anything to do with the coilovers. it almost seems like the noise is coming from inside the cabin at times...

This morning i brought the car to toyot. The service ppl here said that it would not b covered under warranty because it seems to be a wear and tear issue. They said it seems like a busing on the steering column needs to be lubed. They are taking a look at it right now so ill keep u all posted. He did say that its common.
