How to get rid of squeaky steering wheel?
My girl tells me the Jeep is squeaking when she turns the wheel.

Mine does it too. Reminds me that I'm driving a 98 XJ. I make no attempts to get rid of the little things like that. The ol girl has personality

Spray some silicone lubricant where the steering shaft goes through the firewall.
But why would anyone want the squeak to go away?

Well, today I drove it and wow,,,, it does sqweek pretty bad when turning either way. seams to be the wheel it self near where it comes close to the dash. may have to get some lube/spray for it, I can see where she's get annoyed by it.
but Im sure some lubricant will solve it.

My '99 squeaks too. Badly. Only/especially when its cold. It eventually goes away. Honestly, I never thought much of it. lol
