There is a loud squeak noise and it is hard to turn your car.
Check your power steering fluid or your fan belt could be making noise.
The most common cause for steering wheel to squeak is either steering column or fluid. The Power Steering fluid cap is clearly marked and is located under the hood. Check either the "hot" or "cold" marker depending on whether your engine was recently running. Add the fluid, if it is low. If fluid is not a problem you may want to check the steering column's internal hardware. You can see if the internal hardware is properly tightened and lubricated. Using a silicone spray to help lubricate the knuckles (attachment point for the rod and wheel) may solve the problem.
Grease the rubber boot that goes around the steering shaft as it goes through the firewall.
