Steering wheel noise when turning
So when I am turning my wheel I have a very slight noise that almost sounds like a bearing isn't properly lubed or something. On happens when turning and seems to have no other affect on steering. It just a slight noise. Anyone have any ideas? Im a little nervous to start taking it apart because airbag.

Also, I have a rattle in what sounds like the exhaust at low rpms. 2004 v6 w/155000. My mechanic thinks its the cat that has gone bad and things are rattling around in there. I live in nyc and don't really highway drive much so I could see it effecting the cats with such low rpm always. Thoughts?

Figured out?
I have a similar noise, but mine is more clanking. I disconnected battery, took off air bag, and there is indeed, a piece of metal that's not attached to anything. Is this your problem? The part is all metal, and weighs about 8 ounces.

Sound anything like this? May have had the same issue as you.

2008 toyota 4runner, Sounds like The power steering pump is on it'''s way out or is it something else. Thoughts? : 4Runner

If so you may be low on power steering fluid. Go ahead and top it off and it should go away. If your fluid isn't cherry red as it should be, flush the old fluid out and replace it with new. Very simple to do on your own.

Thank you for posting this. Mine just came loose today, must be from the AZ heat. How did you secure it? Epoxy?
