Default Squeeking when turning the wheel?
I just noticed that my steering wheel will squeek when I pass a certain point as I turn the wheel. It's been getting on my nerves because it's a new thing and I have enough rattles and squeeks as it is. Any idea what it is? I think it should be an easy fix, but I don't want to mess around with it because of the airbag. Ideas?

serious? I don't think so since it's definitely coming from the steering wheel

Default look under the knee bolster. You'll see a u-joint for the steering column near the firewall
Lube it up with some white lithium grease.
