I have a intermittent grind/squeak when turning either direction while driving or standing still. Dealer has "clock spring" on order (back order with unknown date) for replacement. Dealer opened Starcase and supposedly got engineer involved.

Hey Tony, if it would be of interest, I would be more than happy to escalate a case on your behalf to try and get the part in sooner. We are always a PM away!

Search noise while turning. Video was posted with the sound. Mine was the rack & pinion. Noise has not happened once after replacing.

Do you feel a rattle behind or under steering wheel when hit a bump ? Something like a loose part.

Negative. Squeak/grind when turning. They replaced clock spring, no more noise so far.

Good day! I have the exact same sound on the video posted above. The steering wheel sounds like a snare drum swing rattling but only when i go over shallow bumps especially at highway speeds. For example lane reflectors and rumble strips really set off the rattling noise. I don't have a squeak or grind sound just the rattle. Was the clock spring a fix for this as well? I would like to have some ammo for when I take it to the shop.

I know this is a bit old by now, but I have just under 5k miles on my 2020 Laramie 1500 and just noticed that “plastic rubbing” type noise. Reading this thread convinced me something might be wrong and not just trim rubbing.

Ramcares,

Is there any update on the TSB for the grinding noise while turning on the 2019's?

Just out of curiosity as I have been unable to find anything online but does this service bulletin extend to the 2500's as well? My brand new 2021 2500 Limited Megacab is making this noise as well and my dealer is telling me that it is "normal"

I have the same noise...is yours solved? Thanks Mike
Mine is different, only rattles at or above highway speeds and when I hit shallow bumps/expansion joints and centerline reflectors. Mine also has more of a snare drum rattle sound, very light snare sound that is. Had them readjust/reseat the clock spring in the steering wheel and still rattles....
