At what point does it qualify as a lemon? Not exactly sure what a "reasonable" number of time means.
cars not a lemon.
dealer seems to be having issues.

can you try another? any nearby?
It's one of the top dealers so I'm not sure switching would fix it. I first took it to another dealer and all they did was lubricated the parts. Before I drove off the lot I checked and it was still making noise. After that I took it to the current dealer as they have more loaners readily available.
Have you specifically checked the steering shaft collar bushing? I am pretty certain the dealer didn't change this part when swapping steering shafts. Remove the lower dash look down and it will be right there.
