[Squeaking steering wheel in 2002 Camry]

Well, when i started this post, there was and still is no actual resistance in steering, just the noise. Do you feel that the wheel is harder to turn when cold?

Not really, but a bit of a vibration comes through to the steering wheel with the groan/squeak.

did you use the blue goo?

Sorry, Steve. I don't know. The local dealer did the job. Squeaks like heck in the mornings, then it's somewhat less after I've used them a few times.

Has anyone had brake pads/shoes replaced on ca. 2000 Camry recently? My new pads/shoes are squeaking worse than the old/worn ones, and I'm getting a thunking from the right rear shoe, particularly when cold. Have they changed the composition of brake pads, or did my dealer mess up the job??

I have to turn hard getting out of my garage in the morning. My 2000 Camry 4-cyl has always had that odd squeak/groan while turning hard, particularly when cold.
