Squeaky Steering Cover Plastics

Ever wonder how to fix it? Yeah, sometimes it is quite annoying to hear those steering cover plastics squeaks. Some says; for this 20 years old car, perhaps the plastic had warped, not in it's best shape already so squeaks here and there should be normal. But it can be fix!

Very simple, there are 6 screws located around the cover. Just tightened them up with hand-tight torque; DO NOT OVER-TIGHT, THE PLASTIC WILL BROKE! If in case it had been already tight, untight a little bit and re-tighten them.


These are allen-screws. Please use appropriate allen-key to tightened them.



The aboves are philips type screws; located to the sides. You can use normal philips screw driver for them.



These screws are also philips. This is under the steering column. I was surprised to see how loose they are just now.


Then go for a test drive. Yeah! The squeaks had almost gone! Good Day :)
