Hey guys recently my steering wheel has started to squeek when turning it left. At first I thought it was on the inside but I'm pretty sure I can hear it on the outside. Any idea?
 






I've been having this problem too on my 2015 XLT.

I took it in a few months back and the dealer told me it was normal. It isn't.

I haven't gotten around to taking it to another dealer but if I had to guess it's either a bushing or the power steering rack. I'm leaning toward a bushing because the weather is getting colder and the car has 17k miles.
 






I recently had steering squeak on my 2013 XLT when turning the wheel either way. Had it checked out at local dealership and was found to be coming from steering gear. $1700 later (thankfully I had Route 66 extended warranty) it's now quiet again.
 






Would you be able to give us the diagnosis from your work order?
