Default Teg 2000 : Squeaky steering wheel when sharp and u-turns

Hi Guys,

I have 2000 integra LS automatic

Recently its been making funny noises when i perform sharp, or u-turn coming from the steering wheel.

Is there any way to add oil / lubrication to the steering wheel or the steering wheel connectors?

If so how would i do it? From inside the drivers seat or from with in the hood.

Thanks,

AGC

I think my teg does this, but it's VERY faint. I'm normally listening to music so I usually don't hear it.

Check your power steering fluid? What you're describing sounds like something different, but checking is worth a shot

Hah, my 00 gsr deos this too. I think mine is some form of rubbing in the steering column itself, or theback of the wheel or something. I just ignore it, doesn't seem like its a big deal to me.

Kind of a light, plasticky, rubbing sound? Maybe the cable reel that carries all the circuits for the horn, airbag, & cruise buttons?

Hum...yes...its sounds like...two pipes... one larger one spinning and rubbing against a smaller one...

Kinda sounds like a faint horn...

uuuooooommmmm (or something like that)

lasts for about 2 - 3 seconds...

Its annoying...i was wondering if some wd 40 can fix it...

The car drives perfect i recently took it in to get allignment.

Thanks,

Tim

In case it IS those cable connections to the steering wheel, I wouldn't spray stuff in there. Don't mess up the airbag.
