like rubber squeak or your low on power steering fluid so the pump is screaming like a banshee squeak? also how is the tension on your ps belt?

^ Hi again Max. Like chronoti stated above, the most likely casue of this is a loose or worn power steering belt. First try tightening it. If that doean't help, replace the belt.

Hi chronoti and Mike nice to see you again and thanks for prompt reply.
I can't really tell what kind of sound it is but the tension of power steering is normal when driving. A friend said it was a strut bearing that worn out. I will follow your comments and see how it goes.

strut bearings make more of a clunking noise on our cars, i know what he is talking about, i had an old benz that squeaked like that

It could be the rubber seal/grommet in the firewall, where the steering shaft goes from inside the car to the steering rack. A little silicone spray does the job.
