squeaky steering wheel

Post by cadetchris »

my steering wheel squeaks, and no matter how much 3-in-1 or wd40 i pump down the washers, it still squeaks.
any ideas how i could solve this annoying yet amusing addition to primrose?

By "down the washers" do you mean into the felt bush that the shaft runs in?
Try taking the cover off the indicator (wheel has to come off 1st) and take a look at the contact for the horn that comes from the indicator switch.
If this is rubbing on the Bakelite it might squeak a bit.

thats exactly the washer i was on about.

i also thought it was the indicator contact rubbing on something it shouldnt do, so i whipped off the whole assembly and it still squeaked.
