Howdy Gang,
I get a faint but annoying squeaking noise when turning the wheel. Seems to be coming from the collumn. Any thoughts on how to silence this?

FYI its coming from the area on the ground where the steering wheel comes into the car, some white lithuim grease clears it up
again give me a day or so to upload the video (im really behind on my files)

if u look closely at pic u will notice i ripped my SRS plug off, had to splice it open and re-solder it (good as new now)
anyways it turned out to be the linkage coming into the car, there is a bushing on the floor. spray or rub some white lithuim grease on it and it will go away. mine hasnt been back since

lol just bought a 03 camry SE that has the same steering wheel as my 01 GS and it makes this noise too, i thought it was the steering wheel rubbing the column, but i'll check into what you said Sakataj
