Squeaking noise when turning st.wheel.

I don't know if its from the cold weather, but whenever it is cold, there would be a really loud squeaking noise when i turn the steering wheel, left or right. Anyone know what might be the problem?? It's annoying the hell out of me. Could it be my suspension or something?

Check your power steering fluid. Thats the most common cause.

the level of fluid is what i assume tmnh is suggesting. is it low - that's sometimes the problem.

Mine also started doing this last night! Even though the car looks good, when passing bye someone and it making this noise it makes my car look like crap. Needs to be fixed asap. I dont think it has anything to do with the power steering. It just seems like something in my left front wheel needs replacing.
