My Ebody Cuda has a sound in the steering column like a bearing needs grease? Not sure how or where to grease it!

Maybe the coupling between the column and steering box is dried up and worn out. Or the bearing in the column itself is shot. Have somebody turn the wheel while you listen under the hood.

Thanks, the noise/dry bearing sound I hear is where the steering wheel meets the crash can.

Time to yank the wheel and see what's going on. Service manual will have all the details.
