Hello. I hope this helps. On my rx300 I had a strange sound that developed when turning wheel. Was most noticible in colder weather. What I found was friction on the column assbly where it goes through cabin floor/firewall area. Sprayed area (rubber boot area around column) with WD40 . This eliminated strange noises . You may need to treat again over time. Good Luck. EZ fix for me.

I get it: So when you spray the rubber boot the steering wheel will be easier to turn so you don't rub your butt as much on the leather seat trying to turn the wheel and sound goes away....How could I have missed it.
