Creaky steering wheel anybody?

My steering wheel creaks when you turn it in either direction for more than one turn. I was wondering if any of you have had similar problems and have resolved them or not. Almost everything else that has gone wrong with my truck up untill this point has been in a sticky, but I couldn't find this. Any help is appreciated.

Possible clockspring issue. Do your horn and cruise control buttons work?

Horn works, and the cruise worked fine up until I did the P-pump, and couldn't find a way to get it worked in. I guess a 2nd gen cruise diaphragm might work, but I haven't messed with it.

Mine flops. Something with the hinge for the tilt.

Is it in the u joint or a bushing/bearing? Can you shoot a little blaster or wd in and stop it?
