Sunbeam Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 During the last 2 winters, our 2001 RX's steering wheel squeeks loudly (with a moderatly high pitch) and continuously when the wheel is turned. It goes away when the interior warms up enough. Sounds like it needs some lubricant somewhere. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhjmh Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I've also experienced this when turning the wheel but haven't identified a solution yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmo Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I've also experienced this when turning the wheel but haven't identified a solution yet. ← My RX300 did the same thing and the dealer needed to lube the steering shaft and the sqeaking went away. It has been about a year and the sqeaking has started to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tds Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 The bushing at the bottom of the steering wheel needs to be lubricated. I had this lubed on my 2001 Rx300 and the noise has not come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
