Hi All,

This just started happening last night when I parked. It was about 32F
outside, not too cold, and the car was warm (been driving for 30 minutes).
When turning the steering to the right only, I occasionally get a squeak
like a door in a haunted house, but a little bit rubbery sounding. It sounds
like it's coming from under the car around the e-brake! I've noticed it
happens only when the car is not moving, and can happen at any wheel
position from lock to lock, but only when I'm turning the wheel to the
right. There is no noticeable loss in RPM or steering assist.

It did it again this morning with a cold engine.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
