I've noticed that too. Have your done any mods to suspension? I first noticed it around the time I installed the strut bar, but it may have been squeaky before that.

Yeah! I have a strut bar now. I never heard it before I installed it. I also have bigger wheels and tires now.

Me too. Started around 33K miles Sounds a bit like a radio that isn't all the way tuned to a station:

"WEEEEeeeeeoooOOOOOoooEEEEooooooo" really low in volume.

Other people have had this too. I have less than 1K on my warranty, I'll be bringing it in to log this issue but, as usual...it doesn't do it all the time! I am slightly worried.

I have that tooo! So glad I am not the only one. Mine squeaks and whines when I turn it. Funny thing is that it doesn't happen every time I drive, just occasionally. I have talked to other members and they said its normal and most of our cars will do this.

Mine was, I thought it was just that... (rubber squeaking somewhere) Took it to the dealer for another problem and asked them to check it out. Turns out it was a bad seal in the rack and pinion and the replaced the whole assembly....

Could you also feel a little tickle in the steering wheel?

Mine was doing this too the problem was the input seal in the steering rack is too hard and squeaks only when turning the steering wheel

I talked to my dealer and they replaced in under warranty
No more squeaking
