Thank you so much Paul. I think we are on the same page the way you have described it. I will leave it. Thanks everyone who has helped! Merry Christmas!

Thanks everyone, but the noise is not coming from the tyres, but from some sort of a metal part rambling above them. I will try to do a video and post it here.

Thanks All. The question is what should I do about it? I had a service recently and he told me not to worry about it and if I wanted to do something about it, I should replace the steering rack. Does everyone agree that the problem is in the steering rack and that it should be replaced? Thanks!

Hi, when I start our Lexus RX450h, especially during colder weather, and I turn the wheel fully to one side or the other to leave the parking lot, I get a rumbling noise (NOT screeching) from the steering connector, which shakes the car. This initial noise and shaking has become longer and more pronounced over the past few months. After I straighten the wheel and carry on driving the noise disappears and when I turn later as part of my journey the noise is no longer there. It has been difficult to show the noise to a mechanic because when I arrive at the garage, the car is already warm and there is no noise. Can someone please advise what I should do? Thanks!
