Graham, I hope you're happy now!  Here's another thread for ya!

My steering wheel feels good -- not wobbly or sloppy or loose or anything,
but I'm being annoyed by a "plastic" sounding creaking when I move the wheel
up or down slightly.  What's up with that?  Also, the hub of the steering
wheel seems to be rubbing hard against the steering wheel shaft collar.  Am
I supposed to lube this area?  Was there some part that is supposed to
insulate the wheel from the shaft that perhaps I overlooked when refitting
the original style wheel?

TIA (thanks in advance),

Jeff in San Diego
