Steering wheel rubbing problems?

[5509433]

Hi,

My steering wheel has recently started rubbing/scratching/grinding when you turn the wheel.
I have looked around the wheel, and along the bottom left of the wheel, there is a small piece of what looks to be copper sticking out, rubbing on the wheel.

There is also, a square piece of metal moving about right next to it, Im not sure if this is normal..

This is hard for me to explain with out pictures. I can try and get pictures later tonight. Im assuming by removing the steering wheel i can try and fix the issues, but i don't want to remove the steering wheel to find out the shims or brackets (or what ever is beneath the wheel), is damages to hell so i cant put the wheel back on.

Has any one come across this problem before?

Thats the horn push ring. Squirt some WD40 in there and the noise will go away
