Did I read on this list that some folks have noticed something like a wheel rubbing sound and/or vibration on sharp right turns until warmed up? MY M35x just started doing this. Is this something to be concerned about?

I have the same problem and it is getting worse. I now have over 60,000 miles on my car and it is out of warranty. I mentioned it 3 time to the dealer before the warranty ran out, but they said they could not find a problem. It is intermittent. The dealer mentioned finally that they had had this complaint before by several owners and that infinity was aware of the problem.I'm still waiting for something real expensive to break.

Yeah, it's weird; just started. I've had the machine now for about 10k miles (it's @ 41K now) w/out same. It does seem to go away after the machine warms up a bit. They could find nothing? Huh.

Anyone else out there? Was there a previous thread on this?

it sounds like you're having the same problems that were discussed on here about that infamous AWD problem that the M35x's have. there was a huge long thread on that, i wonder if it ever got resolved.

Yes. This is the issue we're waiting for the new steering rack to see if it fixes it.

I've had the problem for several months now.

My steering rack was replaced by dealer about 2 months ago but it was not the most recent one that came out.

The problem persists. It's kind of annoying.
