[DML] Re: steering column bushing...

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Andy - If everything else in the steering has been checked and 
adjusted, which it apparently has, it does sound like the bushing is 
deteriorating.  A particular symptom is the groaning, creaking, and 
squeaking. A good upgrade replacement option is the machined delrin 
bushing that we offer.  I've not heard of anyone who didn't find 
relief from their bad bushings with these.  A temporary "fix" is to 
spray some silicone into it.  That will last for a while, but will 
eventually dissipate.  You should check the bushing visually to make 
sure that it isn't torn.  Check the security and feel of the steering 
shaft and u-joints as well.
