Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Cars / August 20082007 Grand Prix steering wheel sqeaks
2007 Grand Prix. There is a squeaking noise that comes from the steering wheel when you turn it left or right making a turn. It is not loud but after a while it gets annoying. It sounds like it is between the wheel itself and the column. I suspect it is the brushes? for the horn and air bag contacts rubbing in the wheel? Is there a spray that is used by the Dealer to lubricate these or is it a Dealer tear-off of the wheel and lubricate that way? I'm sure there is a danger in doing anything around the air bag. Any help or advice will be appreciated. Bob D... I would like to know too, my Silverado does that and there are no controls in the steering wheel... just the horn & airbag. >;-( > 2007 Grand Prix. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Bob D...

They tore the steering wheel off after doing the safety set-up on the air bag and found a bearing and seal down inside the steering column had dried out with no lubricant. They re-lubed the bearing and seal where it rubbed on the shaft and re-assembled the column. Total labor was covered UNDER WARRANTY and was listed as $170.00. I suspect it would be more than that if it was not under warranty which limits what they will pay. Hope this helps all others with a similar problem.

Have same thing with my '06 Montana SV-6. Here's what has happened so far... They changed the rack and pinion assembly. Problem completely went away. Came back a few months later. They then changed the boots on the rack assembly with a new type as per a GM bulletin. Did nothing to solve the problem. I will be going back to have another rack and pinion assembly installed. When I get a minute. The assembly they installed was a reman. > 2007 Grand Prix. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Bob D... |
