squeaky steering wheel

[Touchdown038]

Lately my steering wheel has been making squeaking sound whenever I turn it. Any ideas? Is there possibly a bearing on the steering column that I need to replace?

possibly rubbing your trim mounted behind the wheel?

[Touchdown038]

Checked it, and nope that's not it, it has about a quarter of an inch of space all around the trim.

My Chilton's doesn't show any type of bearing or anything below the wheel, maybe that's why I don't use it for much.

My steering wheel stopped squeaking.. I looked at it and said HEY! WTF? and it was like oh my bad sorry tim.. and it stopped

No seriously tho, it just stopped squeaking one day..

mine will stop for maybe 30 min if that some odd times but other then that its loud and annoying i dont really notice it anymore but whenever someone comes in my car i wait for the whys your steering wheel make that noise which annoys me aswell :p

id bet its something to do with power steering fluid being low or leaking. mine had the same prob earlier, and i just filled up the pwoer steering fluidwithin one day it was back to quiet again

I'm not sure, because the sound appears to be coming from inside, but I'll check the level when I get out of class.

Well I messed with mine & I removed the plastic steering column & noticed the noise coming from where the wheel was not in the steering column. Still squeaks but I'm going to work on it some more tomorrow.

I'll be sure to look at that Darrell.

In the meantime, I noticed that my power steering fluid WAS low, so I bought some fluid for it and put it in, so far the squeaking is still there but we'll see after a while.
