kmpdx Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hey guys, As the weather has gotten colder, my steering column seems to make noise when I first start it in the morning. It goes away after driving a while. It sounds like it is coming from under the dash. It is not really noisy but more like rubbing. It sounds like a bushing and my thought is that it is dry or shrinks when it gets colder. I am not super worried yet but would like to know what it is to be able to monitor and hopefully fix soon. Any ideas? Thanks, kmpdx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 One of mine made a ticking sound under similar circumstances. I always thought it might be speedometer cable related. Never went after it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Mine turned out to be a speedo cable. My '85 Honda is doing it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
