- cause I still have the squeak and now that I've tried to fix it "the right way", it's even more annoying.

If anyone else has a cure for this disease, please let me know.

Problem: Creaky Steering Wheel that occurs in both directions at certain points.

Below is the URL for the method I tried:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/830860.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/830860.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default I used plain old WD40, and it worked immediately and never came back.
Easiest fix I've ever done on this car.

Default Did for me. Well, almost immediately...
A few turns of the wheel maybe. That was two years ago and the squeak just returned

Default WD40 didn't do anything for me. Lithium grease didn't work for me at first, but that's because I
sprayed in the wrong place.

Did you spray it where it meets the firewall? That's where you should spray it.

I think that might've been the problem. I went back a second time and it worked.
