Sounds like a chord being pulled? Doesn't bug me much really.DinaMom said:

Is anyone else "bothered" by the rubbing sound in their 2004 Prius which occurs when turning the wheel, especially when parking? I did have it checked out by the mechanics at the dealership and was told that it was normal.

I don't have any noise from turning the steering wheel.DinaMom said:Hi,

Joel, I'm not sure if you mean a musical chord or a pull cord such as a set of window blinds might have. Either way, the steering wheel of my '04 does make a sound as I turn it. To my ear it is more like a brushing sound, similar to the noise you hear when gently rubbing your hands together. I noticed it right away, but have never felt any binding or pressure in the wheel, or anything "odd, " so I've just accepted that it is normal. I'd appreciate it of those of you reporting a noise free mechanism would give a close listen and share with us whether or not you hear anything like what I am describing.Joel said:Sounds like a chord being pulled?

I think that is a good description of what I'm hearing and I agree that it is no big deal. I can't hear it unless the car is stopped or moving very slowly in stealth.Joel said:I meant like a pull cord - my error (in spelling). I hear it when every I'm cranking the wheel hard, like in a parking lot and so on. No big deal though.
