I would check the steering linkage under the hood and lubricate or have a shop do it. Also, I would change the power steering fluid if you have a hissing noise while moving the wheel.

I have the same problem...its pretty normal...when things get cold, they expand a little..thats my best guess at why the steering wheel makes that sqeaking noise...also idk if anyone has this problem as well when its cold..my shocks in the front make a scraping noise when i go over any bump and they compress, mostly noticeable on speed bumps when its cold out...is this normal?..

I have the same problem but it's comming from inside the cab. Theres a crackling noise like there is something broken just behind the steering wheel. I took it apart and it still has that noise. Anyone know what could be broken?

Sorry to jack your thread Infra917.
