My lexus ES350 steering wheel squeaks when you turn slightly to right or the left. Was told by Lexus service the power steering fluid needed to be flushed as it had bubbles. The service was complete but steering wheel still squeaks. Sounds as if it rubbing against something. Please advise on how to eliminate this annoying sound.

I've had that happen on other cars. Look for a rubber boot you can peel back where the steering column goes through the firewall, then a rubber seal. The steering shaft sticks to that seal and squeaks. Use a Spray White Grease on that seal. Chrysler dealers have it, and you can find it at auto parts stores. It goes on juicy so it runs into tight places, then the juice evaporates and leaves the grease behind.
