Necro-posting 2015 thread.
I am the third owner of a 2011 SS w/ 28K mileage.
I hear the "groaning" too from the front end.
Most noticeable when the car first starts with cold motor, and when driving slow speed at beginning of outing.
Noise seems to lessen once at operating temperature.
My 2011 SS definitely has hydraulic power steering.
I removed the engine cover, and inspected the reservoir today. Reservoir is filled to correct fill-height.
I've heard a lot of groaning power steering in my days.
This sounds like groaning power steering.
After reading others reporting same issue, I feel more at ease over this.
P.O. drove it onto the curb hard enough to need to replace a control arm and strut. I was worried that this groaning could be some sort of residual effect of the Mustang-impersonation episode by the P.O.
I bought the SS from the used-lot at a jeep dealer. Maybe the P.O. traded it for something better-suited for mounting curbs.

I can live with some minimal power steering moaning sounds. Its a Chevy, not a Mercedes. Not a problem for me.
For anybody who is interested in the TSB for the "groaning" that may be coming from the posi rear end, here it is:
