6n2 clock spring, steering squeak, lube?

Featured Replies

Hello all,

 

Main question: What type of grease for steering clock spring? Does it need to be conductive? Is there such a thing? Seem to remember the contact area is on the indicator stalk  side somewhere?

 

Had clock spring replaced many years back. Getting a slight squeak from somewhere on steering so want to catch it with some lubrication if that's all it needs.

 

Rather than take the steering off unnecessarily  I was gonna just put some grease in the gap with a toothpick and see if that does the trick.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Simon

General purpose silicon grease should do the trick in either the solid or spray form
