When my steering wheel goes up it makes a squeeky sound ONLY when It goes up but if it goes left right down there is no noise, what would the cause of the noise be ? My car is a bmw e60 530i 2005 with sport steering wheel

 

same here...but there is a plastic piece behind thats rubbing the wheel when going up and down. I had some work done behind the wheel and the casing behind wasnt put back properly (not seated good). maybe you can check yours too

 

hey there i have the same car active sterring and sport 05 530i mine makes a vibrating noise when it goes up or down when i start the car

 

Mine does that sometimes on super hot days [100+F]. On this Forum there was a fix that suggested opening access door on the bottom of the steering column and treating with Teflon or silicone spray. Do not use WD-40 because of the stink factor. Look for the DIY, I have not treated mine because high summer is waning and the noise is gone.

 

Spray some WD-40 and it will solve the problem. It is a plastic piece that rubs agains another plastic piece!

 

Thanks for helping but where exactly should I spray the wd 40

 

does anybody have an idea where should we spray the WD-40

 

OK every car is different best would be to locate the general area that the noise is coming from and spray lightly there. I have seen on some cars you actually can see the worn out area on the plastic it looks kind of discolored and white. If you cant then you need to take apart the steering column outside plastic housing which is simple.
