It’s a noticeable sound. I don’t see anything obvious rubbing and the steering is as tight as brand new. It’s goes to the shop next week, and they mentioned rack and pinion over the phone, but I think the steering is too tight for it to be that. I wanted to get the thoughts of the forum before visiting my local Indy (who is great), just so I can do some research going into it.
Not sure if I can share a YouTube vid here, but here’s the issue

Report back when you hear from the shop, my wheel will stutter out when it’s hot in the car, just a bad motor but doesn’t make any sound when turning.
