Default Squeeking when you are turning your steering wheel.

Hello all, I got a 92 civ, and just slowly almost done fixing up all the crappy stuff on it lol.. but inside the car is a squeeking noise when ever i turn the steering wheel..seems like it's only to the left and not sure, would the shaft need some lub or something like that, or is there a method of getting that noise gone? thx..hit me up. I'll find out some html codes so i can introduce you the noise and a vid where it's coming from in the car.....all help is appreciated thx..

My moms car had some sqeeking noise too(usually when it is cold outside) so i just sprayed wd40 in there and turned the wheel a couple of times and the noise was gone.

I'll try the wd40 thx bud...and power steering fluid should be topped up..got my mechanic to do all fluids, power steering, trans, oil, coolant, bleed the breaks, break fluid etc.. but i'll check it just in case any other ideas thx..

yup wd40 should do it, i had the same prob, especially when it gets cold out. i dont have power steering and it did it so i dont think thats your problem bud. just spray some wd40 and call it a day.

just use the extension piece that comes with the can and just squeeze it between the plastic cover by your gauge cluster and all and just spray a little bit in there

mines been doing that for a long time now. only does it occasionally and normally in the mornings or after the car has been sitting for a while. for as long as i can remember it making that sound, the steering hasnt been effected in any way. it could just be a plastic piece rubbing agenst something...either way its not that big of a deal
