Squeak When Sterring Wheel is Turned

When I turn the steering wheel there is a loud squeak and it's getting worse over time. How does one lubricate this? The sound appears to be in the cabin not outside.

I'm pretty sure that's front upper strut mounts. I had that before and fixed it with new mounts. That was about 4 - 5 years ago and it's happening again!

I put genuine Mini parts from the dealer on then (only 2 year warranty), so I'm buying the next set from FCP Euro.
