[DML] Re: Steering Column Bushing - tricks?

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My steering seems pretty tight, but on a hot day, my steering 
wheel "squeaks" or "creaks" as I turn it back and forth, like rubber 
rubbing together.  Is this my column bushing?  It doesn't feel worn 
or loose, just makes the noise when I turn my wheel.  Can I 
lubricate this?

Thanks,
