Steering noise

Hey guys,

Lately I've been noticing a squaking noise when I first start steering, should I just get under and grease everything or is possibly something more major wrong? Thanks in advance

If you're turning the steering wheel and you hear squeaking, the upper steering column bearing is worn out.

C3DZ-3517-A = It's available from Ford and all the repop sellers.

Thanks ND but I'm not sure if that's the issue, it makes sort of like a creaking sound but only when the actual tires themselves turn. Also it's only for a moment and then stops once the wheels turn farther
