Sup Guys,

Got my sc400 today, and well only thing that is irking me right now is how the telescopic steering column decided to stop working today. It worked when I looked at the car and was testing everything out, but today it must have known it was going to a new home. Anyways, the column will move away and towards the driver, but not up and down. When trying to make it go down, it just makes a loud gear grinding noise. I'm thinking it might be the motor, but have no clue where to look for one. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info. I usually do searches first before I ask questions, but I only did the search in the sc400/300 forum. Thanks again.

 

I had the same problem just open it up and there is probably a rubber piece which came loose of the pulleys.
