Okay, I don't get a squeaking noise, and if you read it carefully, I said it was usually a symptom. Maybe not on our cars, but it is a symptom. <heh heh> <fart>
yeah i read thats a normal sound from the electrohydrolic steering also. I only hear it at low speeds like turning out my driveway, i think thats normal going slowly but at higher speeds you might be got a problem
I have an 2004, and it's not a pump or belt. It's coming from the cabin about knee level. It's like the creak/squeek you get on a door hinge, and once you squirt WD40 it's all gone.
