Default Steering wheel 2001 Civic

Has anyone heard of experience this problem? The steering wheel of my
car seems to start making a squeeky sound everytime I make a turn. It
is especially noticeable when I make a slight turn like straightening
my car in the highway for example. A full 90 degrees turn does not
seem to aggrevate it or it could be because when I make those turns, I
turn the wheel fast, so the sound is minimized.

The sound can be really noticed when I turn the wheel slightly to
either side back and forth.

Could this be low power steering fluid?

The weather here in the northeast has been tremendously cold in the
last 3 weeks. Sometimes, it drops below 0 degrees.

If anyone know of this problem, please advice.

Thank you.

Probably the rubber bushing need some silicone grease, I use spray and is
good for a few days.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do you I put some silicone grease? Do
I need to take out the whole steering wheel? I sprayed some, maybe 5
or 6 sprays, WD-40 using the plastic straw nozzle extension. It's
still there.
