Squeaky Steering Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My steering wheel has started to squeak (for lack of a better term) and I have no idea where it is coming from, or what to lube it with. I have heard this noise in the past on older vehicles, but never my own. I did a search and found there are a LOT of parts that make noise, but I found no reference to the steering wheel in particular.

Any ideas what to lube and what to lube with?

Thanks!

Could it be the little spring-loaded pin in the steering wheel that rides on the metal ring at the top of the column for the horn? Mine squeaks a little too every now and then and I've decided this is what its gotta be on mine. If this is what it is, I'd say a tiny bit of conductive grease would do the trick.
