i just put a momo steering wheel in my car, but now i'm getting this noise when i turn the wheel. sounds kinda like if you were to wet your tires and then turn the wheel while the car was stationary. almost like a rubber, squeeky cartoon shoe leather type of noise. i greased up everything that needed to be greased (i think). any ideas?

i am having a similar issue. I think it has something to do with your wheel hub personally..

Mine on the other hand I am not sure as it is a straight bolt on..kinda... but I have not looked into it to much

i figured it out... on the stock hub there is a plastic ring with two tabs across from eachother (has to do with the turn signal return i think)... if when yo put a hub adapter, or any other wheel for that matter, you have to make sure these tabs pop into the adapter/wheel. the noise was the plastic ring rubbing. once it is secured it stops making noise.
