Hello!
Trying to see if anyone else has had this issue and how it was resolved. It started as a popping or clicking when turning the wheel, especially at low speeds, but now its turned into a grinding noise when turning the wheel. A shop told me that it is the "steering gear" and I would have to take it to a dealership for replacement. Just want to do some research myself or get a second opinion before going the dealer route. Thanks in advance!
