I was wondering if anyone else hears rattling from the steering column while driving. Steering is normal and everything but i just wanted to know if i could fix the noise. Thinking that tightening some screws would work but not sure. By the way its not too loud but can be heard when windows are up and no radio or ac is on.
Thanks,
Jc

Might be the airbag. (http://www.finishlineperformance.com/rx8/docs/pdf/08-004-04-1381.pdf)

mine rattles every not and then. its like the center of the steering wheel isnt firmly attached, and if i put a little pressure on the lower right hand corner, it stops the rattling. i think ill ask me dealer to check it out when i take it in

JcI had a similar problem, and asked my dealer to take a look at it while doing a 30k mile service. They fixed it - it was two loose bolts under the steering column.
