2001 Dodge 2500, 5.9, 208, 000 miles, stock...squeak in steering column I cannot find...I can raise up on the steering wheel and it stops until I release it...push the shift lever down and it helps but doesn't completely stop it...I'm baffled...Tx for your reply
Also the upper part of the tilt moves as well but not much...steering wheel does not have slack side to side just up and down...

 

Probably the upper bushing (behind the wheel is bad)

 

Tx...I will check that.

 

If it is that you need a whole new steering column. Dodge never offered that as a part

 

There is an engineering company that has it on Ebay...

 

Never have I found one that fit. I have tried. There is so a bearing behind it that tends to go bad

 

So, there is a bushing that's not available and behind the bushing is a bearing?...hummnnn...Tx for the reply.

 

I did see a YouTube video where a guy replaced the bushing a bearing. Never gave part numbers. He said his local parts store cross matched the bearing and the bushing he said he bought. I have tried 4 bushings in another column and none of them fit.
If you do find out what works PLEASE post them here

 

I will be searching and if/when I find them I will definitely post for all...Tx for the reply.

 

Anytime
