Anybody else have this problem? Anybody have a fix?
same problem here, no fix tho.
mine isnt bad, hardly noticable not, it was a little worse when it was hotter in the summer, but even still it wasnt terrible.
Take the steering wheel off and lightly grease the copper rings on the back of it with dielectric grease. Squeak-b-gone.
I had to do that to mine for the squeak, but I live on a gravel road, in addition to my driver's door being rusty along the seam at the bottom, had to clean it all out again...dust got in there, made a helluva mess.
I noticed it when I swapped to the TC wheel.
The TC doors will help solve that issue.
like thunderchicken said that grease makes all the difference.
Thanks!
is it the wheel or the trim ring under the wheel, the one that goes over the tilt lever. thats wa\hat sqeaks on mine. i just mover it back down the column and it stops
This is really funny you guys. You won't believe this , But there is a TSB for squeeky steering wheels on ALL Jagurs cars. In the bulletin they tell us to remove rack-n-pinion and tear down to replace a seal that is making the sound transmitting it up to the steering wheel making you think it's the covers rubbing on the wheel. Crazy to think that Jaguars and ford fox cars using the same Rack-n-pinion. Lol,Lol,Lol,
"squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Dilectic grease and a Qtip,no need to remove the wheel.
my cougar did it all the time when it was new. every year when it got cold. the throttle position sensor would go also. like clock work in october. used to wait for the sensor to go. then take it to the dealer to get them both fixed at once. they said it was common. they just greased it up
If you don't pull the wheel, then what do you pull?
The tilt cover(only trim cover that is easily removable.
Thanks!
Yep, pop off the C-shaped cover, tilt the wheel all the way down, and you should be able to see the contact pins and rings. Smear the grease in the grooves.
