Squeaking Steering Column

My 2000 ML 320 has developed a squeak in the steering column. (It squeaks constantly when I turn the wheel. Sometimes a dual note of two or more tones at the same time) . I can also feel a vibration in the steering wheel itself, which must be being transmitted up by the friction.

I took it to the dealer a few months back, and they "lubricated" it and the squeak went away for a very short time.

I took it back in, and now they say that it needs a new steering column, which is not covered by Starmark Warranty. They say that the steering column is incased in a sleeve, and there is no way to get anymore lubricant in. The only option is to replace the steering column to the tune of slightly less than $700.

Has anybody heard of this, or had this problem?? It seems a little extreme to me.

Thanks,
George
