The horn connection has a brass swiper that wears out if not lubed up every couple of years.

The top bearing also wears out. If it has, other scraping noises start up.

Get a phillips head screw driver, and track it down, anyone would think you were allergic to pulling your datto apart...that's a very unusual characteristic of a Datto owner.

My steering column has just started making a weird squeaking or groaning sound when I turn the wheel. Is there a way I can lubricate it or replace the bearings? I noticed a removable plastic tab on top of the column is this a lubrication point? also I think my oddomoeter is also making a slight squeak each revolution and it's getting to me bad
