Default Telescopic Steering Column Problem!!

Sup Guys,

Got my sc400 today, and well only thing that is irking me right now is how the telescopic steering column decided to stop working today. It worked when I looked at the car and was testing everything out, but today it must have known it was going to a new home. Anyways, the column will move away and towards the driver, but not up and down. When trying to make it go down, it just makes a loud gear grinding noise. I'm thinking it might be the motor, but have no clue where to look for one. Any ideas?

Welcome, we discussed this just recently, and a few other times. use the search feature to locate those threads so you can get your answer without reposting same topic threads.

For instance, if you want to find out about who else has had this problem and how they fixed it, search telescoping, or steering, or grinding. these searches will allow you to find what you need and get the answers you want.

Thanks for the info. I usually do searches first before I ask questions, but I only did the search in the sc400/300 forum. Thanks again.

I had the same problem just open it up and there is probably a rubber piece which came loose of the pulleys.
