Noise

Hello, I have a 2002 ford Taurus with 44500 miles. In the morning after I start the car and back out of the driveway and start cranking the steering wheel hear a squeal/squeak sound. It only happens when I crank the wheel or turn corners, but after about 30 minutes or less the sound goes away until the car sits for an extended period of time. The power steering pump was replaced and the serptine belt is good.

Have you checked the sway bar busings? Also, have you checked the ball joints?
