    Dealer looked at it too 125 K. It was coming from center console. Asked them not to tear it down. They sprayed penetrating oil. It reduced noise a lot but not completely eliminated. No charge from dealer.

    @djwantke ... I wonder how much lubrication is in there at this point. Sounds like there is a gallon. Lol
    Did you try unbolting the NSS first?

    @EC15 it's not like I've unloaded a whole can on the thing, but yes I'm sure it's enough, stopped after two days actually.
    I have 12mm in hand, and was just looking at NSS YouTube video again. What's made me procrastinate is how the NSS gets hung up on the corroded shaft requiring pry bar and shit. I ain't got a replacement. I posted a photo of mine up in the thread.
    How did yours go? Before I even get my fingers in there to take the bolt off. Or is that you in the video LOL

    It was a struggle. The old NSS got destroyed in the process.
    If it turns out to be your NSS, make sure you have a replacement on hand.
    Thats why I suggested to unplug and remove bolt first. (Leave the lock nut alone) If the squeaks stop, its your NSS. Proceed to destroy. :)
    I would wait for the squeaks come back before checking.

    That is not me in the video, I just found it.
