Check the rack end bushings. Grease the rack.

where is the noise coming from? inside? need more description than just squeek.

common issue is the horn contact and ring between the steering wheel and column is dirty and makes noise. just take the wheel off by removing the badge carefully and wipe it down and put new dielectric grease.

the balljoints would make an entirely different type of noise. often confused with the shock or bushing rubber.

loose steering rack bushing would be more of a clunk.

x2. in fact if it's squeaking like that, look at your upper control arms too.
