This is the bearing you probably need.

The noise could be coming from here and broadcasting up your column causing you to believe that is coming from steering wheel or bearing just below it. Worth a couple of minutes to find out.

This worked for me. I didn't have any hanging or grinding though. Last edited by pushbutton; 06/20/14 12:25 PM.
