Steering column reach "groan", means what?
My automatic tilt/extension (reach) steering column has started to "groan" every once in a while when automatically extending when the key is inserted, usually when the ambient temperature is pretty high.
I initially thought it was the plastic shroud and the rubber curtain between the shroud and binnacle that were rubbing... and that may just be it.
But I also thought I'd ask if this is a precursor to the drive cable failing, or something else, that perhaps some preventive maintenance such as lubrication somewhere would be warranted to forestall some imminent failure??
Thoughts?

Maybe I just have to live with it until it reveals the root cause?
