    Growning indicates a low P/S fluid level.

    Squeeking could be a loose dash screw...

      hmm.. could of sworn i had full ps fluid in the summer and my car hasn't been leaking. guess i got to check it tomorrow. also, the squeek doesn't really sound like a loose dash screw. could it be possible that the steering wheel rubs sometimes against something?

        my steering wheel squeaks sometimes when it's cold. I can't imagine it's very warm up there in Ontario right now..

          when my car is cold the steering gets bitchy sometimes but nothing out of the ordinary.

            The quick high squeak is probably the horn contact. Pull off the steering wheel and coat the contact track with some dielectric grease. No more squeak.

            The lower one would be harder to diagnose over the i-net...
