Noisy Steering

[Hubcap]

On startup, when turning the steering wheel, there is an intermittent creeky sound. It seems to quieten down after some driving, but still there. It's not a squeaky belt & there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the steering except for this sound. It's not particularly noisy, but I'm always aware of it. Do I have a problem? It's an '07 VE SSV with 6,500kms.

On mine, the two halves of the steering column cover sometimes come apart, which rubs on the back of the steering wheel and makes a creaky noise. Worth a look?

PS - 07 VE with 6500km? Wow...my 07 VE has 73,000!

My old VU SS used to do that exact same thing...l and I just bought a VY II Berlina which does exactly the same bloody thing...two halves of column cover split apart and makes the steering wheel noise you describe.

I can't believe they still have not fixed it in the VE, guess they don't consider it an issue.

I've been back twice to holden about this issue.. Is there weeping from where the hosing joins to the resevouir???

[gezz]

my vz does the same thing but mine never goes away might be tyre shudder??

Thanks, will check the steering cover, but the noise seems to settle after a few k's. There is no leaking or shuddering. Perhaps the ute needs a few more k's before an accurate judgement can be made.
