NavyDoc333 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I am the new owner of an 06 Lexus GS 300... I had a 1994 GS 300 for 11yrs. Sold it and tried an Acura RL... no comparison...so now I'm back. Anyway.. quick question. I've noticed that when I first hit the start button...and the wheel starts to move....or when I shut down and the wheel moves back....at the start and finish of movement, there is a bit of a grinding sound. If the wheel retracts...comes to a stop. I don't hear it until I open the door... I think it's some sort of locking mechanism coming into place... I just don't remember it on my last GS. Do they all do that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they all do that? Thanks Forget it... I found it in the manual.... it's the steering wheel locking mechanism. It even says, "If you hear this, don't worry it's not a defect" Guess I should learn to read first...ask questions later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
