1 Steering Wheel problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2002

Very, very loud squeeking and rubbing sound coming from the front end of the car while turning the steering wheel or when driving over small bumps in the road. This happens while in park, driving at low or higher speeds, and in reverse. As soon as the steering wheel is moved, the loud noise starts. I'm concerned that this could be dangerous. Dt.
