It squeeks when I turn the wheel..
I can be stopped or moving. I checked the fluid level all good there..
This is a 93' Si w/ power steering.. It kinda sounds like rubber on metal. I have not yet had the time to get under it yet But i thought i'd ask first. So far you guys have had a pretty easy answer to all my questions. Thanks!

your PS belt is probably too tight or wrong size for that matter, mine does it too when i turn the wheel all the way over..especially in the cold

no, it has nothing to do with it being to tight or even the wrong size for that matter.
his belt s to loos and needs adjusting. the pump will squeel when the belt is slipping, this holds the same for the alternator as well. it is a simple fix, just tighten the belt and squeel will go away.
this goes the same when it's cold. the belt hasn't had time to expand from the heat, so again, causing it to squeel.

yeah, you can tighten it alittle (forgot the amount of play need) or you can let you car warm up, which is something that you guys should be doing.

while you are there, check your fluid, make sure you do not have a leak and are low on fluid. this too can cause it to squeek.

Re: (PinoyDelSol)
Clicking is usually a CV axle/joint as stated above.
Screw power steering .. take it out!
Haha, lots of good info though. I have seen that a little tightening should fix it .. too much will make it worse. Just have to find that medium.

yeah, have you checked the tension on the belt? or the level of the fluid?
there is nothing in or around the steering wheel or column that will cause a squeeling noise.
