Does it only happen when the steering column goes up and down?
Yes to this question. Sucks.

I would think that it coud be "lubed" somewhere in the joints and that might make it better than a replacement unit. Unless it the trim that rubbing....

I tried to search the forums for similar posts but havent found anything. If there's anything, someone please link me or direct me.
Whenever I turn the car on or off, the tilt (as you know) goes up and down. It makes this horrible noise, and I REAAAALLLY dont want to go to the dealer and have him tell there's like 400 dollars worth of work that needs to be done to get rid of it. I had a gang of hot women with me this past weekend, and this insane noise was NOT cool. Its been happening on and off for a while. Sometimes I try to blame it on various temps or weather, etc but I dont what the deal is.
Someone please tell me I dont need to go to the dealer to eliminate this stupid sound.
Thanks!
