Default Car in for repairs :(

Anyone ever have a squeak come from the dash?

And when I turn the steering wheel I get a clunk/grinding sound?

Just would like to tip my srevice bay when I bring my car in.

Thanks

Clunk could be the ISS. Sometimes the rack itself can cause the clunk too.

Yeah, my dash squeaks all over. There is a TSB out for that too, at least thats what they told me. The dealership put a paper or plastic shim of some sort between the gauge cluster glass and the bezel ring covering the glass and I think they put some shims under the dash pad, but it still squeaks some. Squeaks really bad when getting in it while its hot from being in the sun and it starts cooling down. I've just learned to live with it, didn't want them getting too far under my dash and creating more problems. BTW, one of my center vents rattle also. This is the squeakyist (heh, did I spell that right?) car that I've ever had. Once the temperature equalizes, it usually stops squeaking. At least mine does.
