#1 creaking steering column...

Post by Polse7317 » Sun Jan 12, 2020 4:00 pm

Despite a spray of WD 40 around the teflon bushes of the column i have still that irritating creak when i turn the Wheel almost when the car is "cold" it desapears after some miles or minutes .
Have you a easy cure?

Yves, WD40 is a water dispersant, maybe a silicon(e) spray would be better for teflon?
