Most new cars have some sort of retraction mechanism;
whether it's the return spring like Daox' Toyotas (all Toyotas for that matter, and most Fords and so on)
or the X square piston seal (which works quite well)
You need to make sure all the parts are moving freely and you are not hearing a bearing noise or other rotational scraping.
