Steering wheel makes a rubbing/squeak noise when turning

[jackjare9455]

I have a noise in my steering column. It sounds like it is right behind the steering wheel. I lubed up the firewall pass-through area and no dice. It’s not suspension or anything outside of the cab, it’s right behind the steering wheel.

Anyone ever had a bad clock spring make a squeak noise?

only me...

Clock spring came in, pulled the wheel off, replaced the spring, put it back together… test drive showed no more squeak. I bat about .900 when it comes to throwing parts at things LOL

Havent hear this squeak myself but my gas pedal has a click every so often LOL

Glad you figured it out. Itll definitely help out if it happens to someone else.

I’m not out in the garage, but if there’s any exposed spring or mechanical part, I’d spray it with good ol lubricant, can’t hurt? May just make your interior stink, like mine after I sprayed the shaft where it goes into the firewall. It’ll pass LOL

Yeah just haven’t gotten around to it yet.. lol

Cant smell any worse than woolwax and other under coating on the exhaust lol
