steering wheel squeak

Hi, I have a annoying problem, when I turn my steering wheel it makes a squeaking sound as if the two materials that connect the steering wheel to the dash and wheel are rubbing? If I pull the steering wheel out (Toward me while driving) it does not make the sound. Kind of a weird and annoying problem, wondering if there's a fix.

I found this a while ago while searching for my own steering squeak issue. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...g-noise-2.html

Mine turned out to be totally different which I fixed it by refreshing the steering fluid.

Hope that helps....

I have the same issue. The squeak can only be heard with the ac and radio off. The shop foreman actually pointed it out on a test drive for another issue. There is a green plastic bushing that dries out and requires the removal of the entire dash. These are the foreman's word so I take it at face value. I still have not had the time to have it fixed.
