Just noticed a squeak sound coming from steering wheel, seems like it may need some grease.

 

Same here. Any suggestions

 

good luck, lol. it's a common issue but tough to locate the source. look where the actual column comes through the firewall I believe and try and get some silicone spray or white lithium grease shot in there.

I've just been dealing with it for the last couple years. headers and a stereo help. lol

 

This is an old issue that has never had a good explanation on how to fix it. Lets hope this time, someone will post a detailed explanation on how to get to the squeak!

 

What I did was get white lithium grease. Put the straw on it and gave two little shots. Worked like a charm. On top and bottom of the steering column you will have a flimsy rubber piece. Push it down and give it a hit.

 

What did you have to do, to gain access to the flimsy rubber pieces? Do you have any pictures of this?

 

This did the trick for me:

Here's what my problem was and the fix...see if this helps. I would get a creak/squeak from my steering wheel/air bag area while making turns with car in motion or just turning the wheel while at a stop. I first did the silicone spray bottom of the column near the firewall and that didn't help. I then decided to take my horn pad/air bag off the wheel, turned the wheel while in my garage and the noise was gone!

Here's the cause and the fix.

The cause:

The horn pad/air bag by design is not rigidly fixed to the steering wheel. The 2 bolts on the backside of the wheel, that hold the horn pad/air bag to the wheel, only screw down so far. As you turn the steering wheel it flexes and because the horn pad in not rigidly fixed to the steering wheel, the backside of the horn pad rubs on the front side of the steering wheel; more so at the 4 points/corners of the wheel.

The fix:

White lithium grease! I bought the tube and not the spray because it's thicker. Place some of the backside of the horn pad anywhere it has a chance of making contact with the wheel and your noise will be gone.

Now instead when the wheel flexes while turning and you have the rubber horn pad rubbing against the plastic or leather on the wheel mounting surface, the grease will be there to lube these points!

Noise gone!
