Thread: squeak from steering wheel?

Mine only squeaks on big wheel turns, its OK straight ahead. Still annoying though.

Just had a better look at it.


Loosened the two pinch bolts that hold the steering shaft uni joint to steering shaft/box. Found that I could push the entire steering shaft rearward moving steering wheel away from shroud. Used elastic tie down strap wrapped around head rest and through steering wheel (a helper would have been handy) to hold the shaft further out while I nipped the bolts back up. It now has a good 5mm running clearance between wheel and shroud.......and no squeak !


I'm not sure the inner shaft should actually move inside the column, but going by a few bruise marks on the end of it and the nut, I'm guessing the steering wheel as been removed with a hammer at some stage.
