Steering wheel "squalk" on cold mornings
It's been too cold and I haven't had time on the weekends to go tearing into things, but was wondering if anyone else has this annoying sound from their steering column? When I turn the wheel I get a squalking sound which almost sounds like rubber being stretched.
I'm sure it's an easy fix, but wanted to see if anyone has tackled it yet.

Mine does, every once in a while when it is super cold, just for the first minute...
mine sounds like a squeek, or high chirp though.
its been -5 to -10 in the mornings this week...
I haven't checked my power steering, but even when it squeeks for a minute or two when i start er up, i haven't noticed difficulty in turning....
I will check the fluid though when i get home.

So, what if my fluid is full? I think I may spray some WD-40 in there.
