My first car did this and in my ignorance I squirted WD40 down the column. It worked a treat.

| Post subject: | Squeaky Steering Column |
Hello there Not a massive issue but where my steering column passed through the bracket attached to the bulkhead / instrument panel - it's squeaking rather annoyingly. I was going to squirt some oil on it, then stopped as I remember recently reading about nylon bushes swelling (on the selector arm) i've looked in the manuals - and can't findf anything - Haynes mentioned using Dot 4 on one piece of the steering column but that must be daft given what it does to paintwork etc. any ideas???? w |

I think I've heard Talcum Powder being mentioned as with gearsticks but I might be wrong |

Talc on gearslides, I'm just rummaging through the revue techniques to see what it suggests for steering columns. I *thought* it was a felt bush but may be wrong... |
