Hi !

My 98 Nissan Maxima emits a loud squeal when I turn the wheels afer a
cold start. I've never ever driven until the engine's warmed up for
about a minute, and it idles at around 1000 rpm right after start.
(This, of course, goes lower once it's hot.)

The noise starts the moment I turn the wheels left or right, not even
close to the end of the range; it's almost like the noise when brake
pads need replacement.

If I turn the engine off at this point, and turn the key once again,
this sound goes away (till the next time I start it up.)

I'm using manufacturer-recommended Dexron III oil for the power
steering, and I never had this problem when it was warmer here in
Virginia, or during the time I drove in Georgia.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance, :)
