Car Forum / BMW Cars / May 2006E36 Squeaky Steering Wheel
I have a 95 325ic with a squeaky steering wheel....I've had it in the shop 3 times (BMW Dealer) to have if fixed. They replaced 2 different parts (not sure what they were, but something in the steering column that rubs against each other as you turn the wheel). Spent almost $500 for all visits combined. Still squeaks. Thoughts? Tom > I have a 95 325ic with a squeaky steering wheel....I've had > it in the shop 3 times (BMW Dealer) to have if fixed.

Removal of an airbag wheel is best done by competant professionals. But, it's not a expensive or complicated job. -Russ. I have the same thing with my E36 BMW 318i 1993. There's a squeek from the steering wheel when I turn. It doesn't bother me, but if there is an inexpensive remedy, I would like to know. ;-) -- | > I have a 95 325ic with a squeaky steering wheel....I've had | > it in the shop 3 times (BMW Dealer) to have if fixed.

I am just living with it because it really does not bother me that much. I'm sure it is a problem with either the clock spring for the airbag or the slipring for the horn. -- -Fred W > > I have a 95 325ic with a squeaky steering wheel....I've had it in the > > shop 3 times (BMW Dealer) to have if fixed.

The cause was the outer cover around the steering column was rubbing against the back of the steering wheel, which was a "lovely" plastic against plastic squeak. Reinstalling the steering column cover made it less, but I wound up having to take a Dremel tool to the steering wheel face of the cover, and gradually remove enough plastic until they no longer came in contact. hope this helps, Don Taylor |
