Spiral Cable
Hello,
I'm new at the whole forum thing, so here goes!!
I have a 1990 LS400 that is making some grinding noise while turning the steering wheel. I called the dealer to find out what it could be and was told that I'd have to replace the spiral cable ($320.00).
Has anyone had this problem and if so was that the fix?

Pito...Thanks for your response! I am unsure what the actual name of the part is. The only thing that I was told by the dealer was Spiral Cable. I will be calling back to ask them for a clockspring quote and see what they tell me.

Usually replacement of that clockspring is because of the signs listed above. Also an SRS light could be indicative of a bad clockspring. I have experienced that grinding sound on a 92 929 that I had and didnt bother to repair it but, my mechanic did hint at the clockspring being bad.
