Default Squeeking steering wheel????

...that's right you heard me. My steering wheel just started to squeek ever since this cold weather started coming around. Is this something that I could just spray WD-40 in there? Has anyone ever heard of this happening?

Common problem on these cars. I experienced it in the past too, but no longer. Use lithium grease instead of WD-40.

Is this happening inside the car? I think my wife's IS300 might be having a similar issue. I would also recommend lithium grease but where do you put it?
