| Steering wheel makes thump/clunk sound when turning or going over bumps which causes steering wheel have wiggle/loose. steering wheel is also making rubbing sound when wheel is turned slowly in any direction. i had my local dealer look into this and they concluded that wheel needed to be greased. the thump/loose steering wheel problem continued and i ended up taking vehicle to another cadillac dealer nearby. i explained to advisor of continuing problem and informed them that another dealer attempted to repair. i was told by advisor that problem was worn tires. i explained to advisor that vehicle had this problem when car was purchased with new tires. i replaced the tires two months ago per dealer's recommendation and problem is still continuing and getting worse. | |||
