Grease the bottom of the steering shaft. At the bottm under the dash there is a rubber boot thatprotects the shaft. when that gets dry it will squeak. Common on Camrys, too. Use a silicone grease.
I have solved the problem this way as well with success. Not on my 2000m ES, but a relatives 99 ES.
ya i have silicone spray for the rubber seal (for frameless windows) to avoid wind noise that i get during highway speed. dunt think the wind noise is reduced but keeps it "lubricated".

Silicone will expand rubber slightly, yet will not damage it. That's a good thing for rubber seals.
so i sprayed with silicone n boom all the steering noise is gone.
And since yall were asking to post pic of it. i m attaching one. Its a very simple procedure. But i dont know how long will it lasts. i guess use over time will know.
Im experiencing more of a whine noise then a squeak noise, is there something i should be worried about? I greased it and while the noise was reduced, it didnt go away, i also only experience it going slowly in the driveway or parking lot ect.
HA!!! Lexus told me to fix it they would have to take apart the whole steering assembly at a cost of 1200, and it was fixed in 5 mins with a can of silicone spray!!!!! I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!
