| My vehicle's steering wheel makes a moaning noise when the steering wheel turns left or right a low speeds. the acura dealer replaced the cable reel inside the steering wheel hub but the noise continues. i am afraid this noise is an indication that something inside the steering wheel will wear out eventually and cause loss of vehicle control. *tr | |||
