X-posting as my car came from the UK!

Has anyone had this issue?

I have read a post or two where people were just leaving things be.

Would appreciate getting any feedback on what could be the cause. I have checked the power steering fluid, and it was full.

The video is of the rack itself.

Hi 318,

I can't access your file as at work but my 997 developed a small squeak just off dead centre. When I took it to my local specialist they just applied some grease to it and over a year and 8000m later no sign of it still.
They advised it was something they has seen previously on a number of cars and was an easy fix
 
Good idea, I don't know why the dealer didn't just do that.

Their report was "suspect pinion bush worn or dry".
 
I had a similar squeak when turning the wheel.
Lubricating got rid of it, but it took a dealer two attempts under warranty.
I can't say exactly what they lubed though.

It's been okay for two years now.
