I have silicone, but I also have white lithium grease which I have used for years on door hinges. Can someone point out where to spray?

I had the same issue on mine. Took it to my local Goodyear store where I get my tires. They did the grease thing at no charge when I got my oil changed.

Sorry for the bump. I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for their help. I recently started hearing a squeak in my steering wheel, and was wondering if it was difficult to fix (taking apart the steering column). Thankfully, it should be a very simple task, I just need some silicone.

Sorry to bring back such an old thread. I've greased/oiled/lubed this thing twice at different times and it still makes the sqeaking noise. Mine looks a little different too since it's an 06?
