Squeaky Steering Wheel

Whenever I turn my steering wheel from side to side there is an annoying squeaky noise. It sounds like it is coming from inside the steering column. I took a video of me turning the steeering wheel to give you an idea of the noise. Anyone else experienced the same problem?

thanks. I will give it a try. I put up
with this for a couple of years. Time to get it fix. The only other thing I could think
of is something to do with the clock spring mechanism

only issue I ever had steering wheel related was the horn being stuck on. I disconnected it and it would still drain the battery so I ended up fixing it with rubber washers....
