Default Steering Wheel Squeak

My steering wheel started squeaking as I turn it at low or high speed. Anyone have a clever suggestion before I take it to the dealer?

This is a fairly common problem and the dealer will lube the area that is squeaking. I don't think its an easy DIY job.

Thanks that's what I figured, just a 2 hour round trip to dealer. I assume it is nothing that needs urgent attention. I don't feel any difference in the steering itself, just a relatively quiet high pitched squeak.

Any clicking or screeching noise coming from steering wheel or steering column may also be traced back to a bad clock spring. Can also be accompanied by an intermittent air bag warning light and/or intermittent steering wheel control button problems.
