"Aside from the loose rear sway bar I had to have fixed today, I also had them look at a whine when I'd turn the wheel left or right, usually from a stop accelerating in first gear. Turns out, they have a TSB for that. I don't have the TSB number, but here are the part numbers:
4318060-AB: Lubricant 1081033 Quantity: 1
0000-77-5W90-QT: SAE 75W-90 Quantity: 4
9956-41-800: Gasket Quantity: 2
I'm not exactly sure what they did, but he said the noise was actually coming from the transmission. They drained all the fluid, lubricated something, then put more fluid in which I believe is different than stock.
Sorry I can't provide more info, but I figured this would come in handy in the future for some of you. Feel free to ask questions, but I unfortunately can't give you a whole lot of info. All I know is there's a TSB on it and they fixed the noise.
Cheers."
