Just heard for the first time this morning around 28 degrees the steering wheel making a noticeable squeaking sound when turning it until it warmed up. Anyone have this issue?

I have noticed a mild squeak when turning the wheel as well. This is even after the vehicle has been running for a while. Temp outside was 35 to 50 degrees. Any update on yours?

Never got a chance to mess with it and ended up trading the sport in for a rubicon. I was going to try and spray some white lithium grease in there and see if it made any difference.

Same behavior here, haven't heard it as much now that the weather is warming up.

Not going to worry too much about it unless is gets worse.
