Were from the wheel or the steering wheel

The steering wheel, used to be intermittent but it's all the time now.

Will try and get a video tomorrow.

no problem with my one
you may be best to remove the steering cowl cover and see what is going on first

Sounds like a noise dry rubber would make... Although I'm clutching at straws here.

Hi Guys,
Any one found a solution yet for this squeak yet . My missus has an Astra J we bought last week and it's doing the same thing.

Cheers ....     Newbie

I've still not got round to looking.

it sounds to me like plastic rubbing (rather than a noisy bearing)
something like the the steering wheel touching the cowling - have you had the cowling or wheel off recently?

Car just came from a dealer. Phoned him and he says steering wheel not removed etc. It only seems to make a sound when making small turns in town roads. I drove it up  the motorway 150 miles when I picked it up for my wife and never noticed it. I admit its not a mechanical sound but an irritating little squeak ... ehheeee ehee Smile
