Default Squeaky steering wheel driving me nuts lol, ISS?

So my steering wheel squeaks constantly with low speed turns, ie: less than 15 mph. I'm wondering if this is the ISS, but I had it replaced not even a full year ago under warranty. How the hell can I get it to stop squeaking?

there's post on that somewhere on here or club GP can't remember. You have to spray the **** out of the steering column down by your feet with white lithium grease or something like that. Someone else will probably chip in the post or just do a search. I put the don rome strut bar in and it seemed to eliminate it for me but it still does it every once and awile

heres a walk throw on how to grease it. to my knowledge you can also spray lithium grease throw the boot for a quicker temporary fix. that is of course if it is the iss making the noise.
