Sorry to be posting weird things up like this one but it's this kind of thing that I need help with.
When I've been doing a bit of mountain climbing over the rough stuff my steering wheel starts making some noises like it would love to have a bit of grease rubbed on it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Any info is very much appreciated.
Mate don't be sorry for asking any questions here, we are all here to help..................I cannot help you with this one but someone should be able to soon hopefully.
Might be the horn their is a small brass type bit that is spring loaded that pushes against a ring on the back of the steering wheel.
What model is it? I've got a GU3 ZD30 Di which gets a noise in the steering when I'm off road and giving it a hard time. Mine sounds like the fluid is airated, I haven't really looked into it though...
Is that the sort of noise you mean?
Had this one my-self squeak from contact as described above.Quote:

The wet and dry was a second attempt as noise was still there after first attempt but you may get lucky.
Then metal polish and finished by wax & grease plate to improve further as polish may insulate some-what.

Mines more of a metal on metal noise. I might have to look at some steering schematics to see the likely candidates.
Cheers for the reply.
Like your rig, looks tough.
& love the colour.
