01 xc70 130K miles: 2 issues (shifter-button + low-speed-steering-noise)
Two latest issues, service, and questions on the now >129,000 miled year 2001 xc70:
1. The plastic button on the shifter stick (that goes from park to drive to reverse etc) broke. (I was over 500 miles from home but I was able to move the shift without much problem with a little finesse). What would be the typical replace service, cost estimate, etc.?? (I'm not a DIYer here) Does just the button needs replacing Or is one forced to replace the whole shifter stick at higher cost??
2. At low speeds, there is a creaking sound upon steering (either in forward drive and reverse). Function of steering seems normal. ((I think at last service maybe same problem and they lubed steering grommet, and found the power steering pump, reservoir moist, but seems problem persisted to today)). What is most likely and other possible causes, fix remedy, and cost (I'm not a DIYer here)??
Thank you in advance.
