I have a 2002 Toyota Camry and the steering column squeaks during a turning when the weather gets warm. Has anyone had this experience?

 

you need to lube the boot on the firewall where the steering shaft goes through.

 

Is theboot is located in the engine side of the firewall? And is this the same for a 2003 Camry?

 

my 02 does this too so if it works that will be great. what do you lube it with? lithium grease?

 

2003 toyota camry squeaking steering wheel...any solutions? How safe is it to continue driving in that state? It squeaks only when the wheel is rotated at static or near-static conditons...meaning, when reversing the car or moving out of parked spaces or steering at very slow speeds around sharp turns...please advise if it would be covered by toyota warranty?
thanks

 

Parts of the steering linkage are loose and need to be tightened; your tires are hitting or rubbing against something; or you have worn suspension parts (ex: toyota suspension bushing). try to check it.. you could also ask the delear what might be the problem.. good luck

 

My steering had a squeak also that was mighty irritating...

The solution was to spray a bit of WD40 into the boot/rubber section where the steering column inside the car (near the pedals) that goes into the firewall section of the car.
