Any ideas on how to tame this steering wheel squeak?
The steering wheel has a squeak when it raises and lowers when starting and exiting the car. I've read about a different squeak I think that involves it turning, but I believe this is different?
At any rate, can you watch this video and let me know your thoughts?

Had the same issue once.Solved it with a few sprays of lithium grease. Adjust the steering column to it lowest point and lift the cowling between the top of the steering column and the underside of the instrument panel (no tools are required to do this). You will clearly see the mechanical mechanism that facilitates the steering wheel adjustment.Lubricate as needed.

If you hold open the cowling and operate the switch you will see the areas of motion.I sprayed the shaft area of the column that telescopes the steering wheel and the screw that spins in a circular fashion that raises and lowers the height of the steering wheel.Hopefully that solves your issue as it did mine.

Pull up,it will slide back into the area under instrument panel.Lift and hold open using one finger when you let go it will close with spring tension.
