So…the dealer has now replaced the steering column in my heretofore pristine 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe and the noise has not abated. When I turn the steering wheel (left or right) it 'squee’s. The first time it happened, I was afraid I had run over the cat. Now I just know it’s my crazy steering wheel, but the dealer seems to be at a loss for a solution. I figured it was power steering fluid, but they insisted on replacing the whole steering column. Fine, it’s under warranty, go ahead. But when I picked up the car, it still shrieks ‘squee’! Any ideas? ---

Most likely, this is due to plastic bushings in the steering column, or to the clock spring that is located in the hub of the steering wheel. ---

Excellent! I will mention that to the dealer. Thank you.
