Lol, did the same thing for some rattles that wouldn't go away, go figure they went away, sometimes you have to give her tough love

I recently started noticing the sound right after I turn the car on and when it's off and I open the door, sometimes it's louder than others. Oh well so long as it works.

[OT] A precision machined measuring tool. Like these gage blocks from Mitutoyo:

You still want to have it in your maintenance records as an issue. You can't replace just the lock, you have to buy the whole steering column if the lock fails. It's ~$1800 + install.

my lexus IS250 2007 makes a weird noise very short but once I turn off my ignition it squeaks and idk what it means . Never done it in the past .

Is this determined to be an issue that will be increasingly detrimental if not fixed?
