86 Dolphin 22RE

As I take apart the dash to attend to the smell from the vents ( a different thread) I found the source of the squeaking that has been driving me mad.  Got pictures!  Does anyone know what this little rod with a spring around it does and why it needs to make contact with the steering wheel?  And is it really necessary for it to screech at every turn?  And should it have little worn burrs on the edges?  And what it's called?

And yes, I know someone is going to suggest that the mice making the smell in the vents are doing the squeaking...

What your terminally bored so you just taking the WHOLE toy apart? :hyper:

Thats the horn contractor. It provides contact for the horn to work when the steering wheel is turning. It should be rubbing on a copper ring in the steering column. A bit of silicone grease should fix it
