Question.. what’s the difference? In my head Im thinking that the silicone would lubricate a bit better because the wd-40 to me is more of a cleaning solution.. so in my theory you could spray it with wd-40 to clean it wait for it to dry then spray it with the silicone.. I probably have it all wrong lol 😂

I have a similar sound on my 07 chevy trailblazer , Can this happen or be the cause of the squeak on chevy's as well ? I only really notice / hear it when turning the steering wheel when car is running and I move the wheel back and forth a few inches from a sitting still / parked position ... dont really hear it while driving at normal speed , Maybe it does it a little at very low speeds such as in a parking lot , but it does sound like it's coming from the steering wheel and not outside the car .

Birb, the steering wheel attaches to a shaft (called a steering column) that connects to a rack (a long metal component with serrated teeth that links the two front wheels together). The steering column and rack are joined with a gear wheel called a pinion. I hope that description helps. Best of luck and hopefully you subscribe to big al repairs.
