I think the pattern appearing is that the 99 steering rack has an issue that arrises about 7-8 years after manufacture. Mine started doing this a few months ago too.

We had some top suspension mountings running dry a few weeks ago and copperslip fixed it.
Call me if I can help further.

Mine creaks and is getting worse over the last few weeks... Have had the bumpsteer mod on mine... The noise is starting to annoy now ! Dont think its coming from the steering wheel - not had time to investigate it yet.

could you jack the car up and check for play in the wheel bearings?
the reason I suggest this is that my own car was squeaking. I thought it was lack of use as I rarely use it at this time of year and that the driveshaft gaiters where possibly cold and hard (also found it to be speed related) , I sprayed them with silicon spray. this did nothing and although I had no nasty grinding noise/rumbles at any speed , or noticed the brake pedal soft for the first push after some corners I jacked the car up and found some play in the n/s/f wheel bearing . I torqued it up and the squeak has gone.
