    Has anyone heard of experience this problem? The steering wheel of my
    car seems to start making a squeeky sound everytime I make a turn. It
    is especially noticeable when I make a slight turn like straightening
    my car in the highway for example. A full 90 degrees turn does not
    seem to aggrevate it or it could be because when I make those turns, I
    turn the wheel fast, so the sound is minimized.

    The sound can be really noticed when I turn the wheel slightly to
    either side back and forth.

    Could this be low power steering fluid?

    The weather here in the northeast has been tremendously cold in the
    last 3 weeks. Sometimes, it drops below 0 degrees.

    If anyone know of this problem, please advice.

    Thank you.

    Probably the rubber bushing need some silicone grease, I use spray and is
    good for a few days.

    Thanks for the suggestion. How do you I put some silicone grease? Do
    I need to take out the whole steering wheel? I sprayed some, maybe 5
    or 6 sprays, WD-40 using the plastic straw nozzle extension. It's
    still there.
