If ya got power steering check that the belt is tight and check your reservour that it's full to the mark.

I've had this happen in a few different vehicles. If it is not the power steering it could be the suspension. Get it lubed.

Where is the squeak? Steering wheel? Under hood?

most likely the loose belt theory, but it may be that your fluid is either low or just plain spent. Once you lose the redish tint, it's time to flush and replace.

there is a lil wheel underneath the steering wheel for the horn,if the sound comes from the steering wheel area it is most likely to be the squeek

There is also a little shaft bearing below the steering wheel. Spray some WD-40 and see if it quiets the noise.

Yes, great idea when/if the noise is pin pointed to the steering column. :cheers:
