mine dont sound as bad as yours bud. it plays up once a month if that( when its cold to be honest, or that may be coincidence), sometimes a little noisy on full lock.
Thought about going to the scrappy but only wanna change it once and with my luck it will pack up shortly down the line.

Any tight spots could mean a rack problem
