The steering wheel in my mother's 1999 Camry has made an annoying noise for years. The dealer was no help. She just put up with the noise. I tracked down the noise to where the steering shaft goes through the floor. The shaft and the rubber grommet was the problem because there is no lubrication. I used a Q-Tip to apply di-electric silicone grease to the rubber and shaft. No more NOISE, In my opinion, Toyota could have prevented this problem by using a Teflon bushing.
