The Steering wheel on my 1998 Volvo Cross Country wagon squeeks as it is turned. How do I lubricate it?

It sounds like there is a leak in the power steering and the fluid is dripping on the exhaust. To quiet the noise and avoid further wear and tear on your power steering, try adding some fluid. To find and repair the leak you'll probably want a qualified mechanic to have a look at the system.

no its the heat shield,,,,try putting a screw through it to hook it back up,,,

you could have 2 problems. steering leak and poss a bearing. jack up the car and spin the right front wheel, makes noise there is a problem. if the noise only happens when you turn, with tire off turn the wheel and watch.

Check the power steering fluid if enough, or replace your power steering pump

Lots of possibilities. If glass has a flaw, from a stone chip or something, then even just a quick temperature change can cause it to shatter. It is also possible it was under pressure because of something pinching, misaligned, caught in the hinge, etc. unfortunately it is probably not under warranty, although it always pays to check for recalls. But insurance should cover it. Maybe even the home owners insurance, since it happened in the garage.

CHECK THE INNER TIE-RODS LOCATED BEHIND THE CENTER OF THE ENGINE. NEAR THE FIREWALL. THERE YOU WILL FIND THE TWO TIE-RODS CONNECTED BY A FIGURE 8 LOOKING DEVICE. WHILE AN ASSISTANT TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL, TAKE NOTE OF THE LOSS OF MOTION FOUND IN THE STEERING. BY REPLACING THIS INNER TIE-ROD ASSEMBLY, YOU WILL REGAIN THE LOSS OF MOTION IN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE FRONT TIRES WHICH MAY BE WEARING OUT ON THE INSIDES OF THE TREADS. HOPE THIS HELPS. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. THANK YOU FOR AN HONEST RATING AND FOR USING FIX-YA. GOOD LUCK

Check the power steering fluid and add as necessary. Many Toyota steering wheels meow when turned and it is not abnormal just annoying!
