Message	it's not a squeak, but more of a low rubbing/chatter sound, only when driving at super low speeds over rough pavement, turning, etc. Started almost immediately after install. At first I was concerned, but I checked/tightened everything and the noise still persists. It's been 10K miles and about 14 track days with no issues, so I've just gotten used to it. I think it might be a slight size difference in the factory bolt that goes through the helm, giving it a minute amount of movement, enough to cause the annoying noise, but totally safe. 93 2+2 Twin Turbo Track Build - jsworks.org for more info!
