Hi Scotty, 2 years ago I purchased a 2013 Lexus RX 350 (FWD - Automatic) with 70K miles, currently it sits at 96,000 miles. However, over the last year I've had a rattle that has become very present in the steering column when driving down rough roads or going over small bumps. Also, when sitting stationary I can jerk the wheel left to right and hear a clicking/popping noise. Outside the noise - The handling of the car doesn't seem to be affected. I've read that Toyota/Lexus have had issues with the Electronic Steering System more specifically a plastic damper that is used in the motor of the electric steer system but I cannot seem to find that particular part for my make & year so I'm not even sure if that issue pertains to me. Any ideas? 

Thanks, 

Ben R.
