I changed the steering column and there is a steering wheel vibration whe I rotate it 360 yet. the steering wheel vibrates when turning quickly to turn 90 degrees. Hyundai elantra 2008.
The vibration and rubbing may be separate issues. There could be many causes for vibration, ranging from low fluid, sticky rack valves, etc., to the tires simply grapping and releasing on the pavement. If it only does it under heavy use, such as when standing still and turning alot, then I suggest not doing that. It is hard on a car to turn the steering wheel when the car is not moving.

CAn't really tell what you mean? Do you mean something is rubbing inside the column, such as the flex joint being out of alignment? Or do you mean from the suspension, such as the steering rack being noisy?
Its a little difficult to explain...when I turn the steering wheel a bit too fast to give a 90 or 180 degree turn I can feel in my hand a wheel vibration and at the same time a rubbing just behind the steering wheel. Looks like a insufficient power assist.
If I turn the steering wheel slow (regular turns) I dont feel any vibration or rubbing.
2004 GMC 1500 pickup, 4wd, I have had this thing Since it was new, three years after purchase, the steering wheel started to make a groaning noise when pulling into a parking space or out of, I have had the dealer in Flemington N.J. look at it and they can't seem to find an answer, Its almost like the truck is telling me don't park me again! I hate the noise, friend of mine who has ford undies laughs at my truck when I have to park it. Never heard my ford make any noise like that! What is the problem?
