Hello.
I'm wondering whether my DFGT wheel acts properly or not. While playing the wheel (or something inside) clatters and crackles loudly, as if it could be out of order. It usually happens during playing GT5 (TDU2 as well) mainly on gravel surfaces and at normal tracks (for example on long oval bends, on the spiral bridge at Cape Ring and when I drive onto curbs). It's seems to be as if a part of this device spins around but it can't convey that motion farther. It takes the fun of playing away, especially on gravel surfaces.
I sent my wheel for warranty, they replaced some engine mechanisms inside the wheel (I can't examine if they really did this) but nothing has improved (maybe the wheel goes little quietly, but it may be an illusion). To better explain what I mean, I have featured clips on youtube while playing GT5 with my wheel. Sorry for poor visual quality of these movies, but sounds are hearing well.
The first video is from arcade mode (track Eiger Nordwand type W, Ford Focus WRC'08 - nothing changed, all aids off apart from ABS (1), Force Feedback 7).

Throughout the almost entirely duration of this movie lots of crackles and others weird sound are very audible. It's very inconvenient and greatly hinders the play. For example you can hear it from 5 to 12 second.
In second movie I used Kart Space II, PDI racing kart 100 and all other settings as above.

These crackles happen usually when I drive onto "chessboards" (forx example in 8, 18, 32 second), on the spiral bend (in 25 second) and sometimes on curbs.
I bought my wheel as a used one, the former owner assured that it was 100% fuctional and flawless. And I thought that those symptoms were normal.
I have no opportunity to compare my wheel with other used or brand new DFGT (because none of my friends have it), so I would like to know others DFGT owners opinions on whether this kind of acting is typical, or my wheel is broken and I should it back for warranty and demanding a brand new one.
I'll be deeply grateful for your advice.
