My new steering column squeaks!
My new Ididit column, hooked up to my Toyota box, emits a squeaking sound when turning, from around the area just below the steering wheel.
Any ideas? It's a tilt column, 2" diameter, with a new Grant steering wheel mounted on it. I can't think of anything, but is it possible to have something overtightened?
Thanks in advance. Sure, I'll start experimenting with it this weekend, but I figure I'd ax you all first.

Sneak one of those small red straws in there and give it a quick shot of silicone spray.
I know its a fairly common problem on the stock columns. Also check to make sure that the upper housing (that turns with the wheel) is not rubbing on the lower stationary housing.
Good luck

Grant adapter. Could that be it? It's a signature series wheel.
I have exact same column and exact same wheel on my pickup with no squeak.
