Makes sense. I'm not sure what went wrong with it, but I was hearing a high pitch whistle sound coming from it when turning the wheel left to right. Not a squeal like you'd hear with a bad belt, but almost like a whistle, or whine.

First time I took it in they lubed some parts but the sound returned. After further investigation, they said the steering rack was the problem. Replaced under warranty and whistle/whine was gone.

When the car was only about 3 months old, I was parked behind a friend's rather large SUV and she went to leave, didn't notice I was behind her and backed into my car. After the rack replacement, I assumed that hit (while parked with steering lock engaged) might have started it and the subsequent years of driving with heavy, over-sized wheels finished the job. Who really knows, could have just been a dud rack.
