Im guessing its cold around where you are.... I have a 99 and it just started to happen this year. Its been really cold here in Boston and it only happens when the temp is below 40. When I turn my steering wheel it sounds like a whine. It goes away after the car warms up. I brought it into the dealer and they said its 'normal' and probably due to the cold temp (since it doenst happen after sufficient warming of the car). <_< other people ive talked to said their dealer looked into itm greased the joints but still the problem persists in "cold weather." I guess the key is cold weather ;) Unless I go and complain a whole bunch this is the service im gonna get with these small problems. Oh well, not worth the time and effort right now since the nearest dealer is at least 45min - 1 hour away.

I guess the first question is how many miles are already on the '99 RX. In MA, every 5000k mile serive is $110. There are major services at 30k and 50k etc (dont quote me on the mileages I forgot exactly what they were) that cost over $400. The major services are quite expensive. HTH
