Hi Thomas:

    I just fixed a squeak in the steering wheel - it was the main steering shaft
rubbing a hole in the tape wrapped around it, which then rubbed on the little
boot at the floor where it goes under the car.  Couldn't find the same kind of
tape, so I shot some McLube 1725L spray onto it and the noise went away.  This
stuff has teflon in it and is hard to find.  We use it for lubricating the key
pins in organ and piano keyboards - works reel guuuud!
    Also, the horn contact will squeak if not greased - clean the track with
anything, then put a light dab of grease on the running area.  You can do this
without pulling the wheel, but it's harder, tho.
