Re: Whats the fix for the grinding stering wheel sound. (Black Lightning)

One of the first things wrong w/ my car, easy fix though.
Pop the little horn cover off and the plate, etc. and you'll see a big nut on there, like 22 mm (something around there). Take the steering wheel off and you'll see that there's a metal ring (ground for the horn). What's causing the noise is the lack of lubricant between the steering wheel and the column. Take some grease or vaseline and brush it on there kinda lightly, put everything back on and problem's solved.

First take a wet rag and slide it in the groove behind the steering wheel an clean it out. Mine did this not long ago. Somehow sand got behind there an was making the grinding noise.
