Here's my story;
When I drive the IS I heard a weak audible noise when I move the steering wheel and thought it was nothing. Then I heard it again. I stop the IS on a flat surface and turn off everything else and then started hearing a creaking noise.

I took it to the dealer, they said it was not normal. So the first thing they did was to check the boot and lube it near the fire wall.

When I got the car it was still making the same noise. So I took it back and they decided to change the spiral cable. It was still making the noise and then I got an added bonus of pulsating feel when I turn the wheel making a left or right.

What do you guys think I should do? I made another appointment and if it was just simple characteristics of the car I would not care, b/c I love the IS. Do you guys think it could be a bigger problem?
