In the frunk, sort of to the right of the battery (passangers side)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

This might be valid info... it made a very similar, maybe identical noise a week or so ago when the steering wheel was pivoted as low as it could go... so i raised it slightly and the sound dissapeared... but its back...

universal in the steering colum? But if it was that I would have expected a groan, and then no sound as it moved, and then locked up.
