Steering ?
 
Hi guys and gals,

My steering wheel makes a squeaky noise when I turn either to the left or right, is there a specific place I need to oil to make this stop? Or is there something else that causes this. It drives me crazy!!:mad:

Thanks in advance.

its the inner side of the slip ring.

a bit of copper grease should sort it right out :)

Mallard,

How do you go about greasing it? Thanks

you gotta take the wheel off fella :(

airbag off, then unbolt steering wheel.

the grease needs to be squished between the moving parts of the outside of the slip ring..

i cant explain shiiit :?

If you don't feel like the slip ring thing, try this first. I know I had a squeak, but its only around slow speeds. It worked for me!


FIXED :)
