Squeaky steering wheel
My steering wheel is awfully squeaky in the cold. Is there anything I can spray/do to point of friction in order to alleviate this problem. Not really a big issue but kinda annoying when here in Maine cold season accounts for about half the year...

If you can isolate exactly what's squeaking, you can hit it with some 1-lube or some graphite powder, etc... Just don't be getting it all over everything...
And I know there's someone who's can't resist the urge to say "steering wheel grease"....

Mine does the same thing.Way up underneath on the steering column, by the firewall, you'll see a "swivel joint" on the linkage near where the linkage goes through the firewall.Lube this joint with some WD40 or whatever and it will make it quiet.I usually have to do it a couple of times every winter.

Mine does the same thing, mostly when cold. I'm thinking when I was reinstalling the plastic column covers after tracking a wiring problem I did'nt get the rubber collar inside them relocated correctly. I can't confirm it yet as I've been too lazy to take it back apart. But I'm pretty sure thats it as I did'nt mess with anything else and it started immediately after.
