I have a Canadian model 1998 GS300 that has this noise when the steering wheel retarcts and extends. My warranty is up. There was a service advisory about this problem. Does anyone know if lexus will fix it after the warranty because of a defect? I was told there are 2 motors which cost $300 each. Sounds like an expensive repair. Did the gentleman who had this problem look at his and if so do you have to pull the steering wheel to get at the motors and gears?
