Noisey Steering Wheel when turning after alignment 87 4Runner
After I got my 87 4Runner aligned and steering wheel straightened, the steering wheel makes a noise when turning it.
It's a hard noise to describe, but I'm guessing it's the horn contact? Is this something that could have been disrupted after a tech aligns or straightens the steerin wheel?
I thought I could live with it, but it's pretty damn annoying unless you just drive it straight
Can I adjust/repair this without taking it back to the alignment shop? It almost sounds like something is dry and just needs grease?

The noise could very well be coming from the horn contact button and ring. It is a fairly common problem when these trucks get to this age.
YotaTech member Arlindsay1992 made a video about how to fix his 4Runner steering wheel squeak. Does this sound like your steering wheel noise?
