I have a new Stratus XP that still has less than 20 miles on it.

All of a sudden, it is now making rubbing noises as I turn the front wheel
from left to right. This noise sounds like rubber or plastic moving against
metal. It's coming from the steering column but I don't think it has to do
with cable housing material rubbing on the frame (as suggested as a
possibility by someone else) . Is that normal and will this work out as I
get this machine into usage?

Thanks.
