is it coming from the actual steering wheel, or the front of the car? my wheel squeaks at low speeds when I turn it slowly, but I'm pretty sure it's just the actual steering wheel, not anything in the front end of the car. of course, I have a B5, so this may not even be an issue with your car. anyone else notice their wheel being squeaky?

unlikely. if it's coming from the front of the car, it's probably your upper control arm bushings. it's not practical to replace the bushings, so you're looking at replacing the control arms.

Oh year if its like a suspension squeak for sure its your upper links, bounce the suspension and see if you can hear the noise.

then there you go. do a search on control arms, and you'll find plenty of information.
