Hey guys, basically my steering wheel just recently started making a scraping noise as it turns, kinda like friction between two materials. Theres nothing wrong with the steering and everything works fine, just the damn noise is getting to me! anyone else had the same problem before?

oh i had this just squirted a bit of wd40 down and it stopped it. Basically theres two metal discs that rub together when you turn it that are the connections for the horn and airbag (i think) and they can get a bit squeaky at times but yeh wd40 down the back shld sort it

Yeah its just grit or something fallen down between the two plates. It will make its own way out in a few days normally but it is annoying in the meantime.
