WD-40, as most people know it, is not a lubricant. Instead use lithium grease. And confusingly enough, there is WD-40 lithium grease spray which will work. Just don’t use the stuff you’d use to loosen a rusty bolt.
Hello!! You nailed it,my car has just that problem and it is true,I was convinced the noise was from somewhere around the steering wheel but it is from down there! I am on to it!Thanks a lot!
Spot on great video! Thats exactly the squeaking noise I'm getting! Hopefully mine will be an easy fix! 🙏🏻 Update... took off panel cover used a screwdriver to open up the rubber boot from the top "no need to remove rubber boot which is a nightmare to get back on" I used silicon lubricant sprayed from the top of the rubber boot. Problem solved! Thanks again! Great video!
Fair play to ya bud, I was convinced the noise was at the top behind the steering wheel...? I would've bet a months wages! But I decided to try your method and even though I could hear it at the steering wheel while head first into the driver's side footwell I was amazed when finished that the bastarding squeaking noise was completely gone! Solved! Fixed! Sorted👏👏👏👍👍 a simple spray with Motul spray lube did the job just fine.... I'll say one thing though, I'll probably be spraying grease the next time and down behind the rubber boot from the top with a long straw should be well enough to achieve the same results?? I will not be removing or lifting off the boot in future! what a disaster trying to get the boot back over the blue bearing housing? and then back into the recess also was another total melt!🤦♂️🤦♂️ it's just too awkward and fiddly to be messing in and around down there! But yeh if your steering wheel is squeaking like fuck and sounds like the clock spring or summat is gonna snap or break this is the method that works a treat! Thanks again bud for the tips and best of luck with the channel I'll be subscribing because I got decent helpful information that worked! 👍
Happy it helped solve your problem bud ! Yeah that boot cover is a pain in the a*** to get back but there is a certain way to fit it back that goes in a bit easier . Yeah when il have more spare time i will make a few more video about other common problems with other cars ! Thanks pal.
Thanks for the tip in not removing the boot. I lifted the bottom just a smidge with a flathead screwdriver and lead with it. Pushed it forward and up a bit allowing the straw from the liquid grease to have some access. Sprayed in the general vicinity and it worked. For anyone wondering, it's a Torch T15 for the three screws.
I tried this in a e87 1 series 2011. I found out that the squeak, exactly the same as yours, was coming from the rubber cover itself. Greased both the cover lips and the bearing. Thank you for pointing at the right direction.
I got the squeaking sound, i am planning to repair on next mot service that is june 2024, does it give any give serous driving problem, please reply and how much it cost to repair it. Thanks 🙏
Hi, hi if you ignire for too long might cause more harm to the nuckle but not 100% sure , the cost to repair this issue you would need to go t9 a garage in your area and get a quote i have no idea how much it is where you are from
Yes, I would like to know what's the part's name or part number. Can just change that bearing instead of whole entire thing? Mine also facing this issue.

Used it on a number of cars and worked well but as i said a grease lubricant will work best , thanks anyways .

No problem , glad to help .
Wow, it worked like magic , went through a few garages, and everyone came up with different solutions. Nothing worked.
I am glad it helped 👍
very good video, i was thinking its coming from the top. thank you
It worked! I appreciate you!
Thank you , i am glad i was able to help !
You are a star mate, thank you
Works! Thank you
USE SPRAY GREASE like Wurth hhs-2000
Helpful, thanks!
Why did you say that well eventually have to get it replaced? Will anything bad happen if we don’t replace it?
Not really its just that it could wear out to a level where grease might not help again
pls help i removed the boot but cannot get it to fit back on correctly ! seems impossible!

What if the noise is on the passenger side?
How did you put that rubber back on the blue ring?
You need to play around with it and strech it out around the ring
Did you remove that noise? I have a same problem...
Hi yeah it solved the noise problem , on a few of my bmws , however if it does not solve the noise , then you might have to replace the part
@@TDmafia what is the part called cant find it :( ??
Holy shit Thank You!!!
Will this make the steering a bit lighter as well?
Not really it would make it as it was before the squeaking came up
What is that part called
Yes, I would like to know what's the part's name or part number. Can just change that bearing instead of whole entire thing? Mine also facing this issue.
did you find out what part is called or whole assembly? thanks
did anyone find out?
I’m guessing this would work on the e82 ?
It could if the setup is the same
i think i fixed mine
I've got this issue on a 318 d
