Squeaky Steering wheel

[ColinM]

Is it possible to lubricate the steering wheel shaft on my S Type, as it squeaks quite loudly, in low speed manoeuvres, it's more a medium frequency sound.

We also have a squeaky steering wheel which hubby feels is the carpet or deadening he has got on his to-do list.

Hi Colin,

 

A main dealer would tell you that it is possible to do it but will cost a lot of money.

 

My old favourite is WD 40 in the general location of the squeak.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks folks I will have a look at the carpet and dig out the WD40.

I wasn't sure if there was a grease nipple somewhere.

Regards

Colin,

 

There's a power steering fluid additive that supposedly addresses the squeak issue .

 

You could try this:

Other than that slap some Hendrix on and turn up the volume, if we can hear it in Devon, you won;t hear the squeak!

Thanks Trevor I'm more of a Beatles fan myself, but I like it played painfully loud.!

It's a silly question but where do you add the additive.

Colin,

 

Don't know where to add it but I'm sure there must be a reservoir under the bonnet somewhere.

 

A Beatles fan Eh?

 

I have had two big disappointments in my life .

 

The first one; I used to be a big Beatles fan myself, until I saw them, what a let down, they just could not hack it live, and I find their songs more like nursery rhymes .

 

The second one, and more recent, owning an Aston Martin, what an overpriced, overrated badly built antiquated heap of junk they are. Give me a Jag any day of the week !

Thanks Again Trevor I was not able to see them live but was at the Olympic Opening Ceromony, and saw Paul Live.

This is my first Jag, and am really enjoying it.

Take Care and God Bless.!
