Go buy a can of that. Then with the red long needle they supply, you need to get under your dash.
It is a pain at first, but if you pull back the rubber boot that protects the steering you will hear the noise come from there. Right by the knee bolster.
What I did was have the key in the ignition and I could hear the squeek when I was on my back and turn the wheel side to side. Stick the needle with the can up there and spray it. I used my fingers to lurbricated it around. Turn the steering wheel until the noise goes away. You'll see what I am talking about.
Cheers!!

Anyone have some decent pics of where this itch needs to be scratched?
I cant make out squat from the fist pic in the link, and the second pic is missing.
I dont want to chance contaminating the wheel position sensor. I also dont want to damage my spine searching around under there
TIA!

Unfortunately that is the picture that I went off of. I would take a picture for you but my car is in the body shop.
You just have to get on your back laying down and push the rubber boot up to let the needle of the nose from the spray can to get some on there.
Anyone else want to chime in?? That is about the best I can offer. Cheers!!
