a ton of work for a squeek in the sterring column
a friend of mine is an expert at rebuilding gm steering columns. so when i told him i had a slight squeek when the wheel was tilted down when steering left and right on a straight road he said, lets take it apart. well, 12 hours later, we (he is the better word) had it back together. it is a maze of special tool needed parts (he had them all) and we totally took it apart down to the floor and cleaned and lubed it all up. have not driven it yet, but if it has a squeek now, it is not there....it takes a real pro to do it given all the wierd parts in there. a job not for the fainthearted.
there were alot of wires that were hooked up to nothing that we removed. it appears the steering column was set up for cruise and some other features that my coach does not have on the column so we removed them.
thought i would share.....
