Default Steering wheel sound
When stopped, does anyone hear a weird sound from the steering wheel as you turn lock to lock? I seem to have a weird sound when I turn the steering wheel especially at the very end. However, when the car is moving there is no sound at all. Is this due to the VGRS on the 430?

Yeah I'm pretty sure it has to do with VGRS. I've noticed this in our 430, but not the 300.

I had that on my 300 AWD as well...I don't think the 300s had the VGRS, or did it?

That's weird... The 300's don't have VGRS, and I hear it on our 430, but not the 300.
