Does this just happen after long drives? And does it happen when you turn the wheel only to the left, right, or both?

RE: Steering Wheel Noise
This is a funny (but not really) thread, and timely. I just noticed mine doing the same thing just now and was going to ask in a different thread.
dmc2904, how does yours sound like? For me, the rubbing sound occurs when turning the steering wheel in both directions. It is a very subtle but higher-pitched squeaking sound. I can hear it only when the car is idling or when moving very slowly, otherwise the sound would be drowned out by the noise of the exhaust and motor. Is this similar to your experience?
Help?

RE: Steering Wheel Noise
IT GIVES THE CAR CHARACTER!!!
Does your car ever say "OMG what are those strange noises and smells dispursed into my seat on a daily basis?" NO, the car just assumes that is your character and continues functioning normally. You should do the same for her :P lmao
Just kidding. With all the jokes aside, mine has made this noise from day one. It seems normal, everything functions fine --much love for my car.

This might be a normal sound of the power steering mechanism?
Who else has this? Please share.
