Thanks Turbotuners, that's probably where my squeak's coming from. I asked my SA about it and he thought it might be the rubber gasket behind the wheel but I doubt it since it doesn't sound like it's inside. I'm not gonna let them pull it apart for nothing. So what kind of lube did you use?

I noticed something similar with my car. Both times it has happened was on a cold morning. Turn the wheel left and I hear like a clicking sound.
