Help: 2 Noises Heard on Cold Startups I have 2 different noises - both happen only upon cold startup.
1st noise is in the steering - when i start the car up and back out of my driveway, as i turn the wheel i can hear a squeaking / creaking noise in the steering wheel. Noise goes away once the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes. fluid level is good, always flushed regularily... noise has started happening recently and i just want to know what it could be.
2nd noise is a grinding type noise, happens on cold starts as well and goes away after about 30 seconds, sounds like it is coming from underneath between the trans and rear end, i'm thinking it could be a u-joint or something but i just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this?
Any help would be appreciated!!
