    I just installed a Grant steering wheel and now I have a squeak every time I turn the wheel right. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to get rid of this squeak.

    My did that also when I installed my aftermarket steering wheel, it ended up being the black back plate was touching the steering column and making the squeaking. I just took it off and now, no more squeaks :D

    The sliding contacts for the horn were squeaking on mine after the Grant steering wheel install. I used some electrical grease on the back of the horn plate. Just make sure it is electrical grease(also known as terminal grease) so that it is non conductive.
