2003 Volkswagen Beetle Automatic 73000 miles

When my steering wheel is turned right or left it squeeeks as I go over bumps. The best I can compare the sound to would be old springs from a matress. With what limited knowledge I have of cars I am thinking it's the steering column or suspention. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Tonya

Tonya you are experiencing a frozen tie rod end or frozen ball joint. These joints dont have grease fittings so they cant be greased. Unfortunately when the grease inside them from the factory dries up the joint seizes and will eventually break.
