yes , both of mine did the same thing, I drilled about an 1/8 inch hole on the steering column just large enough to get one of those red spay  attachments to  fit into it and hit it with some white grease from a spray can, the hole gets drilled down by your feet,prob. a couple of inches from the bottom where the column goes through the fire wall.

My 91 does this, but it seems to be groaning up higher than that. Anybody know where, exactly, all the bearings are in the column? Ive never had it apart....just curious.

I think there is a bearing up top and a bushing down at the bottom, the sound travels up the steering column.
