Go to your local parts supplier and get an exploded picture of the steering column. Most will have this as a free service. The steering wheel has to come off, as well as some pieces to get to the bolts that hold it together. Tighten the bolts and it should be fine. This is a common problem and will probably take you about 1 - 1.5 hours to do depending on options vehicle has.
If this is for the 1995-1997 Lincoln Continental, the turn signal switch can be removed off the steering column by removing the plastic cover on the column which is two pieces. Once the plastic covers are removed, then remove the turn signal lever by removing 2 torx screw located on the stalk base that connects to the steering column. The lever will remove towards the left and you can unplug the 2 wiring harness's that are plugged into the stalk base. You can bypass the column adjuster and remove to the left side of column.
Before you follow these steps look at the bottom of the steering column on the floor. There is a rubber boot where it goes through the floor. I found my squeak there, applied a little grease and it went away. Of course I found mine only after I had removed the whole cover. The cover is easy to remove. There are two screws on the top of the column. You will see them when you rotate the steering wheel. Remove those screws. The two pieces are snapped together about i/3 of the way down the cover on each side. Unsnap the two pieces and the bottom cover will come off easily. The top half will take some "finagling" to get off but it will come off.

Remove the two plastic trim pieces around the steering column ( they are held together w/2 Phillips screws, coming up from the bottom ). It is right next to the hazard button!
It might be something as simple as the plastic/vinyl pieces rubbing against each other.Try some silicone spray.If it's not there, it may be the steering column linkage under the dash that's squeaking.Again, some lubricant spray may bring relief to that irritating noise.Now if I could just find out how to stop my 2001 seatbelts from squealing, I would enjoy that relief!
Remove three Torx head screws from the bottom steering column cover. The cover pieces (top and bottom) are held together with plastic clips internal to the column halves. Simply pull and wiggle them apart and remove from the column. Unplug the wiring harness by depressing the lock tab at the top of the harness and wiggling the plug loose. At the top of the switch there is a plastic tang that needs to be pushed away from the column, then simply slide the switch up and off the column. Reverse the above directions to install the new unit.
No. "Backbone" is a common name for the spinal/vertebral column. Intervertebral disks are the the pieces of cartilage found between the individual vertebral bones in the column/backbone.

A rigid , relatively slender, upright support, composed of relatively few pieces.
A concrete column in a multifloor building must have ample steel reinforcement for the components that rest upon it. Welded 'haunches' are used to support the weight of girders and other pieces that rest on the column.
Below the steering column to the left is the fuse box panel. To the left of that, under the plastic panel that the fuse box panel clips into is the relay board. remove the "pop-out" pieces of the dash that are located between this lower panel, and the instrument panel, on either side of the steering column. Remove the screws from the lower panel, and remove the lower panel itself. You cant miss it, to the left of the fuse bank. There are three relays in the relay board, the short fat round one should be the culprit!
