squeaky steering wheel
hey guys i have a 01 1.8t and i just noticed about a week ago when i move the steering wheel my car squeaks. Its not the tires I feel like its coming from under the hood or something. It happens the most, or at least i notice it the most when I am at a stop or at lower speeds. Whats up with my car and how do I go about fixing her?

PS fluid level/strut mounts/bushing maybe....I'd also look at the tie rod assemblies, especially the joint hiding in the rubber boot right up against your steering rack.

checked the fender liner it seems to be fine. Does anyone know how to check the power steering fluid level? that sounds like something it might be.

haha, if you don't know where your power steering res is, maybe just drop it off at the shop

I don't really want to pay someone to check the fluid I I can do that myself. If I see the fluid level is fine then I guess I'll have to take it in unless anyone knows what else it could be. Does anyone think this is a major problem?

I have no other options than what I've already posted. As always, start small. Could be the power steering fluid level. And I just told you how to check it.
