Any way to be more specific on the noise? Perhaps a small video with good sound is in order.

Hi Kelly,

It sounds like the acrylic end stops that stop the wheel turning into far has either fallen off or worn down, good news is I beleive its a cheap fix....

Regards

Paul

Probably should clarify where the sound is on the vehicle. Whether it is outside relating to steering stops and tire rub, or if it is inside the cabin from the steering column itself. This could be related to a worn or dirty plastic bearing at the bottom of the column.
