Default Squeeky Steering? WHY?

When I am not turning but if i am like just moving the wheel a little to keep the car in the lane, there is a squeeking noise, and i don't notice it much when i turn to wheel at a corner, its just a little rythmic noise when i have the wheel tilted to one side just slightly. What could this be.

if you have power, check your fluid.....I know its not a honda but my sis' dodge did the same thing, I topped off the fluid and it went away...my 3 cents..

yes check fluid. you may have a leak. does the power steering require more effort at times? possibly a pump bearing? Flush the power steering fluid system and get back to us. I give it a 80% chance of that fixing it.

mine did that when I tore the tierod boot, most of the grease came out resulting in squeaking when i turned the wheel. I replaced the boot and the squeaking was gone.
