Ok question for you R230 People.

2003 SL55 with 15k miles. Question: The car makes a creeking sound when doing a full lock turn. Is this normal? Or is it just the power steering? Does something need to be lubed? Am I crazy and hearing things?

Could be normal, especially at full tilt. If it's continous on all full turns, it's probably not normal. Itcould be any number of things. Is there a reason you haven't just taken it to your dealer to have it checked out?

It is not continous. I guess it is just a normal sound. The car makes all kinds of wierd noises. Ex. Supercharger chrip (I love it). Noisey fuel pump. Blah Blah.

I love it too. Btw... did you notice that some supercharged cars on EA's "Need For Speed - Most Wanted" also have that chirp sound? That's where I found out that it was obviously a 'normal' sound.
