Default odd noise from steering wheel

I'm getting a high pitch rubbing sound from the steering wheel it self, its not the belts or the cv joint. Also its only making the noise turning the wheel to the right.

Anyone know what it could be?

Have you ever removed your steering column cover, it may be misaligned. Need more info on the rub? Does it sound like plastic rubbing, or metal.

when you turn the wheel does it feel sluggish or normal?

do you have power steering? If you do, remove the belt and see if it still makes the noise.

I get that too, sounds like plastic squealing as you turn the wheel to the right.
Obviously something to do with the plastic cover on the steering column, at least in my car.

This thread is old as shat , BUT , I thought i could shine some light on the problem.
My Rex did the same thing , I took off the steering wheel and found the cause , the metal tabs for the horn that ride on a round plate like a track when the wheel turns was scratching due to no more lube on it. Easy fix , just a small dab of lithium grease and rubbed it around the horn disc.
Hope this helps someone since this thread is old.
