On my '98, I am starting to get some shudder and grinding when my wheel telescopes back in. I know there is a procedure to greasing the puppy. Anyone care to share?

Great. Now don't I feel like a frikking moron.
Eric, do you think there is any way to 'glop' some stuff in there or does it all have to come apart? I'd prefer the 5 minute vs the 5 hour repair scenario.

I cannot believe if you can get in there with the little red tube that comes on the Teflon spray cans that you couldn't spray it in there and fix the problem?MonsterMark said:Great. Now don't I feel like a frikking moron.

Please do. Just in case I have to do it. I rather fix it now than wait for it to break. And maybe the pics of it apart will give me some insight into where to point the grease. Thanks.ERIC1 said:

i had to rebuild mine when this happened (see vid) just pull the column like any other steering column (if you cant do this just stop now) take your time and open the "box" by removing all the torx bolts on the top just make sure you remember how it came apart so you can reassemble it, grease the tracks and the rollers, you will see them (mine had a roller work free and fall out in the vid) its not too bad as long as you take your time
