Groaning Steering Column S80 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be TC on  Tue Mar 13 09:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 1999 Volvo just developed a new sound. When I turn the steering wheel rapidly, as it passes through the center position, a groaning noise is heard (maybe something like rubber against rubber). I took the car to the dealer and he said my car needed the steering limits greased which they did. No improvement, sound is still present.

This sound only occurred after the dealer replaced a solenoid on the transmission to repair a shuttering upshift condition. I'm thinking when the mechanic reassembled whatever he took apart to repair the transmission something wasn't installed, aligned, or lubricated properly.

Has anyone out there experienced a similar sound and if so what was done to fix it. I suppose I shouldn't be too concerned but noises that shouldn't be kind of drive me up the wall......
