I also had noticed that when I turn the steering wheel slightly from one side to the other on my GT, I got a sound like rubber squeaking. Then the steering got noticeably harder to turn. I checked the power steering fluid and it was on full. Took it to my 5-Star dealer. They worked on it for a couple of hours, lubricated the point where the steering column goes through the boot and said "we took it for a 4 mile test drive, it's fixed." I drove it 4 feet and it started doing the same thing it had done before but not as loud. Got the service writer to take it back into the shop to try again. After another 15 minutes they determined that they really didn't know what the problem was. Said they would have to call Chrysler's support group and then they might have to order parts. I left with the car and they called me about 45 minutes later to say that support was aware of the problem and they were ordering Krylox (part # 5049059AA) to use on the rack and pinon.

Dealer put in the Krytox lubricant and it didn't help (what a surprise!!). They called STAR and were told to replace the rack and pinion. Of course they had to order the parts. About a week later, Chrysler changed out the rack and pinion unit on my GT. The rubbing noise went away. A new problem was a front end squeak when I went over a speed bump at 10 mph which it didn't do prior to the rack and pinion replacement. Things finally settled in and the squeak went away but it took about 1500 miles. Not sure why that should have made a difference but I know that they had to do an alignment on the car.
