Steering wheel noise when turning? Weird!
 
Noticed from first time I started the Stype up and drove her last Friday (when it was delivered off the transport truck) that when turning the steering wheel (moving or not) that it kinda makes a slight rubbing noise in the steering wheel column itself. This is not an 'under the hood noise at all, its simply coming from the steering wheel. I don't want to go crazy with the WD40 until someone smarter than me says go for it! LOL Any ideas? I don't want to take the steering wheel off or apart just to find the annoying noise, surely there is an easier fix. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

The usual issue is a sort of squawk and is cured by an additive to the PAS. Yours sounds more likely to be a bush on the column. Someone reported curing it by changing that bush. The additive's very cheap (buy a bottle from a dealer) and easier to try, though.......
