My wife was coming home from work the other day, and according to her, the steering wheel started making this awful clicking/grinding plastic sound when making turns. I recorded a video of the sound, which can be viewed below.
I'm familiar with the higher pitched wheez/whine rubbing sound (which our steering wheel has had for awhile now), but this is certainly new.
The plastic-y click makes me think it's the clock spring, yet all steering wheel functions are working normally (horn, radio buttons, cruise control, etc), so the wiring harness in the clock spring, at least, doesn't appear to be damaged.
There is a 2010-2015 LR4/RR TSB noting a clicking/grinding sound coming from the steering wheel. Sounds like we are experiencing it.
Any thoughts or experience with this sound?
Notes: PS fluid levels are good, no leaks, no sound outside the vehicle, no shimmy or shake in the column, no play in the steering wheel. It's coming from inside the plastic section immediately behind the steering wheel under the dust cover.
