I just fixed a bad plastickly 'rubbing' sound on mine, here's what I did.
If your '86 is the same as an '88, there's a screw holding the horn pad down. The screw is located at 6:00. Turn the wheel upside down, remove the screw, then remove the horn pad.
I then removed my steering wheel. Underneath that are a few bushings for the steering shaft, etc, and you'll see the brass spring loaded horn shaft and ring. Clean the brass parts and ring with an eraser. Grease. Squirt some grease down past the steering shaft, work it in with your fingers if you hafta.
Reassemble.
