Squeek in steering column.
I have an '06 F250 that has an annoying squeek or rubbing noise in the steering column. It appears to be comming from the boot the shaft passes through in the fire wall. I took it into the dealer and when I described the noise, he mentioned thay have seen this before and it could be fixed by spraying a lubricant inbetween the boot and the shaft, which they did. Of course this did not fix the problem only lessened it. 
Has any one else had this problem and found a fix for it?

We have a couple 06's at work that do this. My boss found it kind of annoying and the Ford dealership did the same thing to his (spray the lubricant). Seemed to help a bit but it is still there. I just lived with it, but that's just me.

P.S. On the 2 05s at work, it went away after a while.

My 02 has done this since new. The dealer fix usually lasts a couple of weeks to months. It is annoying. I was told it is where the shaft passes through the firewall.. If anyone knows a fix please post. I hate rattles.

This is driving me nuts. I hear it every time I turn the wheel. I have had the Ttruck since Sept. and it just started to do this in April It does it at all times now. I can't believe a repair center cannot fix this. Is is possible to disassemble this boot and grease it rather than just spraying lube into it.

I agree, mine sounds more like its right behind the wheel, like a rubber diaphragm or gasket or something. Just drive it some more, before too long, there will be another squeek or something somewhere else that will take your mind off of the one in the steering.
Its a truck, face it, you didn't buy a precision engineered German automobile. There are some things that i need fixed at the dealer, this, however, is not one of them that even made the list.

Any Solutions?
Lots of complaining about this problem. ( Same here) Does anyone have a solution. Was it the boot.. Is there a part number? Was it the steering shaft universal joint? Was it the steering box?
Mine really only does it turning short increments to the left.
Kinda sounds like a moan.

had that on my 06. Steering gear needs replaced. They had several around 05 06 years that were doing that.
To me it sounded more like a dry bearing when I turned the steering wheel.
