Clicking/Creaking Noise when turning and accelerating

I have good news for anyone out there who has had this problem. We have a 2002 9-5 wagon (Linear) that now has about 15k miles on it. About 6 months ago we started noticing a weird "clicking" feeling (more a feeling than a sound) that happened only when accelerating slowly from a stop with the wheel turned to the right.
We had our Saab dealership check it but they just tightened things up and it still was happening. It continued to get worse, I brought it back and same thing, tightening up bolts on the engine, etc. didn't help. It had gotten to the point where you could hear it as well as feel it, and it was happening in more and more situations.
Our Saab service manager was determined, so he consulted with Saab, and finally they figured out that it was the grease in the collapsible steering wheel column that was too thick and was causing the problem. They took it all apart, replaced the grease, and it is now as good as new-no sound or feeling of clicking at all.
Just thought I would pass this information on as I know we were not the only ones experiencing this problem!
