    Noisy steering wheel

    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.

    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.
    Contact pin was worn badly and also jamming slightly side ways , remember reshaping end to allow a new tip contact rounded slightly.
    And smoothed round contact plate.
    Was able to remove plate from boss and deck it on a sheet of glass and w&dry.
    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.
    Cheers
    IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
    THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE

    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.
