Steering wheel rubbing Options

[Coligion]

I recently switched out all my struts and put Teins springs on. After the installation, I noticed this loud, rubbing whenever I would turn the wheel (only coming from the driver's side). At first, I thought something went wrong with the strut/spring installation (or the sway bar was rubbing), but now I'm certain it's coming directly from the steering wheel itself, inside the column. So, I decided to take apart the two plastic covers near the wheel. The only thing I could think to do was to spray a lubricant inside there. After doing that, I drove the car around and low-and-behold it had disappeared. Unfortunately, the noise returned a day or so later after the lubricant had dried? Anyway, this noise is extremely irratating (almost metal on metal like) and it's just another noise to add to the collection . Any help is appreciated, thanks.

try grease

I tried putting some grease in there, but it's very hard to maneuver anything in that vicinity. Regardless, I just went out and drove the car after applyng the grease and the noise is still present. The problem is I don't know exactly where the noise is coming from....just somewhere inside the column. I'm debating whether or not to take it in somewhere, but I'll bet no one can diagnose it anyway (just like the other noises from my car....)

how bout sillcone spray?

I tried that too--no dice. I thought it might be power-steering related, but my resevoir is full. I'm gonna try and flush it out and put some new fluid in. Doubt it will do anything, but worth a try. I'll just have to bite my tongue and take the car in somewhere.
