This can damage the wheel and cause all kinds of pops and squeaks over time. The wheel is a sensitive instrument.

Do not put any weight on the steering wheel whilst you enter/exit the car.
Great point. And I have followed this all my life. A steering wheel is NOT a 'handle or body bracing device'. So to answer your question, no I don't. To answer your other question: 6' & 235lbs. Just a nickname I've had since back in the day.

Actually a positive follow up as of this afternoon... The problem was fixed! I will see exactly what next week when I pick her up. But they replaced the entire 'Active Sway Bar, bushings and something else.
