Does your steering column squeak just like for a moment when it goes into "resting position" after you take the keys out?

Mine does, not a big deal but just slightly annoying.

Mine does a little, but only when it's really hot outside.

Mine does too and it vibrates a bit, but it's almost random, doesn't do it everytime.
