steering question

i have had a kind of sqeeking sound when i turn my steering wheel for a while..
i thought it could be the old fluid so i changed it completly..
the sound is still there and i dont know why... it also seems that it only does it when it is cold outside or aleast a little worse when it is cold..

any thoughts? thanks in advance...

You should not leave your steering fully turned to either side for more than a second or two. This puts heavy stress on the power steering system.

But if this noise is still happening within a second or two of reaching full lock, it's probably your power steering belt squealing. Either the belt needs tightened or it needs replaced.
