squeaky wheel gets the grease?

my steering wheel (I pressume that it is actually the column) has started squeaking. Where do I need to grease or oil to get this to stop? It doesnt say anything about it in the manual.

Nobody has had this problem? I presume that it is coming either from the point were the wheel connects to the column or the shaft is making contact someplace. I am not sure were to oil or grease and what kind to use? Anybody have experience with this? Thanks

There is a bearing in the top of the tube
You will have to remove your steering wheel to reach it

It could also just be a dry horn ring. Either way you'll need to pull the wheel and see what you find.

Ok, and just use a good weight grease on the bearing? And what do you do about a dry horn ring? I will take a look in the manual but incase it is not in there, please let me know.
thanks,
