Default Rubbing / clicking on telescoping wheel

I'm posting for a neighbor who just bought a '02 coupe. My '99 doesn't have this, so I wasn't any help. I'm getting this 2nd hand, so bear with me:
They tell me the rubber boot or sleeve sounds like it's rubbing (and even "clicking" or "popping" at times) every time they turn the wheel. Any experience with this ? I wasn't sure if this was normal, or if they need to bring it in for service. Any help will be appreciated.

Mark

My wheel groans when making low speed turns like in a parking lot! Dealer fixed it once...............he'll fix it again.

Mine groans too!!. I mostly notice it in and out of the garage and driveway.

What did the dealer do to fix it?[
