Squeaking noise when turning steering wheel (Video)

Getting a loud squeaking/groaning noise when i turn the wheel when i first start the car. The noise happens at a stand still or if i'm moving but seems to go away after 10 mins of driving.
Any idea of what it can be and possible fixes?

Almost sounds like a worn bushing somewhere. How many KM's do you have?

111,000 miles or 178,637 KM almost sounds like something is binding.

Try checking your power steering fluid and see if its low, something similar happened to me a while back when the reservoir was lower than minimum.

These cars have steering boxes, not racks.

Does anyone know of any DIY articles for the bushings and ball joints?
