Squeaking Steering Column

Ady_E · 09-07-2008, 11:23 AM

Hi all

I'm getting this very annoying squeaking noise coming somewhere from the steering column. I've had the cowl off and had a look but can't seem to pin point its location.

The intensity of the squeak does differ depending on the angle/position of the steering wheel so believe it to be coming from the universal joint at the bulkhead. This was backed up by other threads on this forum.

I'm tempted to just go straight in grease guns blazing but don't want to make matters worse later on. Before I do does anyone have an idea of what can be done about it or what oil or grease should be used.

Thanks
