Steering wheel squeaks

[darksparkz]

I know this is kinda of a random thread but sure:

My steering wheel has recently just started squeaking when i turn it, regardless of a tiny turn or a full turn. It's fairly quiet and sounds like its coming from the column of the steering wheel. It's a high squeak, almost like ballons rubbing against another. My power steering fluid looks okay, any other ideas?

do you feel anything funky when you try and move it? mine makes an aweful noise and feels like somethings in the way and it happens randomly. but yeah i dont know what it is

Well my sound isn't exactly awful, it's just a bit annoying when its completely quiet, that's all. It doesn't feel anymore different, so I think your problem may be slighty different.

This has been covered several times. It is most likely coming from where the steering column shaft goes through the firewall. There is a rubber grommet in the firewall and needs to be lubricated. Most people suggested white lithium grease or a silicon lubricant.

If may just be the cold weather. I know it happened about 3-4 times to me so far during this winter.

So does that mean we need to take the wheel off in order to apply the lithium grease?

mine has that same squeaking noise. will wd40 work instead of that other stuff?
