Default Steering column makes squeaking noise

Steering column makes a squeaking noise at times when turning it. Do I need to lube something? If so...where?

Yes the column needs to be lubricated. My truck does this on certain occassions. I had the dealer lube it once and now the noise is back. Not sure what needs to lubed exactly.

I would think it would be where the actual wheel mounts to the column.
