				Steering wheel - strange noise

				For the past week or so my steering wheel has made a strange noise. It's an occasional crack or scratchy noise.  Definitely from behind the steering wheel.  It sounds like a bearing - is there one?  Any ideas how difficult it is to remove the steering wheel?  I'm a bit nervy of the airbag going off.   
 
Thanks.

				There's a universal joint buried down under the bonnet - I've heard it can get dry and that spray grease can ease it.

				It's higher up than that - it sounds like it's coming from right behind the steering wheel.   

   Thanks for the suggestion though.

				could it be the indicator self cancelling, do they work and cancel ok.?? or the clock spring for the airbag.
have a look at these links below.click on the black numbers on the diagrams, then look to the left, it tells you what each part is etc.
